My children got this for Christmas. We had so many shrimp hatch. It was a great learning experience about the life cycle and how to take care of living creatures.

Unfortunately, the poor shrimp eggs did not hatch. I have not an amateur and am experienced with hatching these little eggs, and followed the instructions to the letter, in hopes to raise them before the New Year for my grandson to enjoy. The shrimp clearly were too old, or stored inefficiently, and did not hatch. This is not an item I can of course replace because I threw out the product, but that is the requirement to get a new item (which I don't want) or a refund (which I do). I would avoid this product.

I read a lot of reviews before purchasing because o really did not want to crush the soul of my six year old and have all of these die instantly (like they did) here’s the thing with sea monkeys (brine shrimp) they are very fragile! We bought these during winter and live where it gets chilly, here are some things I learned.Sea monkeys need oxygen , producing bubbles with the wand they provide helps but probably isn’t enough, you can purchase a mini oxygen pump for $10 which I recommend especially when you feed them. I also recommend feeding 1/4 scoop size instead of a full scoop. All of our monkeys died after feeding. What likely happened is they were fed too much, the brewers yeast provided will suck up oxygen from the tank and overeating also kills the shrimp. I’ll be keeping them next to a warm light at night to keep the temp warmer during winter as well. We are doing the other half of the eggs now, hope this info helps! There are so many online resources to check out before starting your kit. Good luck !

Purchased as a birthday gift for my science loving 6 year old. It came with really good instructions, links to a podcast and great photos. It took a while for them to hatch, but it was fun to watch. Included everything we needed but water!
