The Six Steps To Sea Monkeys

1) Wash the sea monkey tank with warm water to make sure that there is no pollutants in it.
2) Fill up the tank with bottled, distilled, or boiled water that is at about 75-80 degrees F.
3) Put the water purifier into the tank of water and wait for 24 hours.
4) Put the instant sea monkey eggs into the water and stir gently. The wait another 24 hours
5) Use a million bubble air pump once a day and pump air into the tanks 10-15 times
6) After 5 days feed the Sea Monkeys with the growth food provided and do this once a week.

Extra Tips

1) If the water evaporates about 5cm then pour some bottled water in a cup or bowl and wait 24 hours then pour into tank.
2) If they don't hatch in 24 hours the water is most probably to cold
3) Always try and follow the sea monkey kit instructions
4) NEVER use bleach or soap to clean the tank these things are poisonous to sea monkeys
5) Sea monkeys will do better if the tank is in indirect sunlight. This encourages the growth of green algae which will provide food and oxygen for the sea monkeys
6) If you do want to get rid of the algae use your finger or a Q-tip.

Warnings

1) These creatures are very small and you may need to use a magnifying glass to see them until they grow larger.
2) Take care not to move the tank to much as this may injure the Sea Monkeys.
3) Do not touch the glass of the tank with the million bubble air pump. You may squash a sea monkey between the tank and the pump.

If you follow all these tips you will grow very good sea monkeys quickly.
