Looking for an exotic pet that doesn’t cause too much trouble? Do you think fish are boring? If so, this may just be what you were looking for! It’s Sea monkeys! …. well, actually, they’re not really monkeys, they’re more like a marketing gimmick (they were sold in the 60′s as novelty pets). Do you remember those old comic magazines with fantastic ads claiming you could hatch these amazing humanoid creatures in your aquarium? Well, even tough it was mostly hype, sea monkeys are actually quite cool after all… as long as you don’t let yourself be deceived by the advertising, that is. These strange shrimp-like creatures appear ”instantly” in your aquarium, after you mix a “water purifier” on day one with the “magic eggs” on the next day. After that, the community of little squirming aquatic fellows will endure up to two years of acrobatic adventures, or so they say.
