Hatch your own Sea Monkey eggs, then rear and care for them in the 15cm plastic tank

'Cryptobiosis' means 'suspended animation', a phenomenon found in the Brine Shrimp, a species to which 'Sea Monkeys' are closely related. Their eggs, after being stored indefinitely will hatch and a full shrimp-life-cycle will begin again. Our kit consists of a 15cm plastic tank with built-in magnifying windows, and three envelopes: these contain water-purifier, eggs and a source of food. The eggs hatch almost immediately after being placed in the filled tank, and the subsequent rearing and caring is simple.

The creatures, almost invisible when they hatch, can soon grow to 1-2cm long and have many intriguing features including being reactive to light. Owning them is an education which could lead anywhere. They come with an informative and entertaining booklet. Spare food, eggs etc. are available.
