Sea Monkeys

They aren't monkeys. They don't live in the sea. Who named them? It was a brilliant marketing scheme because nobody would have bought brackish water ugly shrimp-looking things.

Anyway, mine (Jasmine's really, but mine by right of the fact that I take care of them) are still alive after almost a month. They haven't once played tennis or put on lipstick. I'd ask for my money back but I didn't pay for them.

I was a little bit disappointed with my Sea Monkeys, too. Mine all got deaded within a couple of weeks. I do not know what I did wrong.

I think that one of the seacrets is to blow air through a straw at them once or twice a day. It keeps the oxygen levels high enough that they are happy. Also, it might keep them from being bored. Life in the little plastic tank can't be much fun. Also, I feed them a lot less often than the package said to. They only get a little scoop once or twice a week.

At least they changed the name from "Men" to "Monkeys".

I must check out these creatures. Good for you for keeping them going.

I didn't really know what sea monkeys were. I googled and watched a video.
