Man, please, don't abandon this channel... I really enjoy this beautiful way of life that are artemias.

I'm from Brazil and we can't buy the Fish Monkeys or Sea Dragons because it takes a lot to arrive, but I got some artemia from the pet store and they are doing great!
Lots of hugs from Brazil.

Your life feels so exciting and fun :o!
Your photography is beautiful!!! I love it! You’re very talented :)!

I just found your channel and now I’m binging it, haha! I remember these little tanks! I used to think the little sea monkey art was slightly terrifying…

I have 4 fish tanks! 2.6, 3, 5, and a 36. It’s really cool to learn about microscopic creatures :)!
Thank you for putting so much time into your videos!!

With all your videos and tips for sea monkeys you have made me and my sea monkeys happy ❤

[petimorgan]

What the heck, I just realised who you are and that I’ve been following your photography for years! 🤯

[susanjames]

Man, I absolutely love your channel. I have always wanted a seamonkey colony and you have given me the confidence to go ahead ( even as an adult) . Have brought my tank etc and am excited to get in set up now. Many thanks x

[benjaminbesic]

I woke up this morning to see that you posted and my see monkeys started mating! It was a perfect morning I am so glad I got into sea monkeys

The most shocking aspect of this video is finding out he might be taller than 2 inches.... Unless he has a tiny tiny little mouse house

[yahsmouse]

I had Sea Monkey's when I was a Kid back in the '60's..lol sure would like to try again..thanks for all the tips

[VonTried]

Your channel is just very fun and easy to watch and get into. Thank you for that (:

to keep several small containers warm use an aquarium with a large heater and something to circulate water as an air pump or any aquarium pump. It's how some betta fish breeders keep their males warm. you don't need to fill the water all way to the top of the containers. the holding tank works as a huge heating matte.

[FaolanHart]

Just like to say thank you for this channel. Its been really helpful.
I just woke up one day thinking it would be kinda neat to get these little guys again.
Tried, failed, looked up some info & found your channel. I now have a set egg coming with a usb heater & air pump
If it goes well I'm going to try getting Triops again. I always loved them as a kid & usually lasted a lot longer.
But the Sea Monkey tanks just fit better next to my windowsill plants.
Its also really cool to see you're a professional photographer. I trained in it & focused on wildlife & zoos.
Never went beyond a hobby with me though.

Welcome back! Great to have you back ^.^

Wait until you go to your attorney to set up a living will for after your gone and one of his questions to you is, ‘Do you have any hobbies? Do you have any collections?’ Me: ummm…Sea-Monkeys.’ That totally happened to me this week. Lol 😂 With that said, love your videos! Thank you for your continued hard work 😊

[ThRealBuddy]

Firstly I think youtube is much more reliable for returning and invested fans, so I'm really glad you plan on posting! Second, I may have missed this in the video but is there a way to accidentally overheat your SeaMonkeys? It gets really cold here during the night where I live, but the temperature will change so quickly I'm scared I'll heat up the seamonkeys tank while I sleep and then next thing I know the temperature of my room shoots up and suddenly I'm left with hot seamonkeys.

I wonder if you would be interested in species of a similar concept to the instant pets: opae ula shrimp, commonly sold inside those sealed "ecospheres." Ecospheres are pretty harsh for the shrimp and don't lead to great quality of life/lifespan, but the shrimp themselves are indeed incredibly hardy and don't need much care (no filter, no water changes, tank as small as 2 liters, and food maybe every month or less). They're about the same size as brine shrimp, but are actual shrimp and are red and pinkish in color. I obviously understand if you don't have interest in this, but I just always want to spread the word about opae ula 😄
Either way, I'm really enjoying your instant pet explorations! I've always been interested in little jar-contained pets, and had some sea monkeys of my own as a kid. I'm also really looking forward to seeing content on other species like triops. Anyways thanks for your content, your vids are super quality, well filmed, and I love the jokes you slip in!

[KingsOfCamel]

Love your channel. You got me obsessed with these creatures. You earned my sub for sure!

[SnackHeadCowboy]

Thank you for answering my question! Can’t wait for new videos.

[pitayafruit]

Love this video, and excited for more exploration of these micro lives (that the right word? I forgot my English) I was thinking of caring sea monkeys but realized that I don't have the right care for it. The SeaMonkey are expensive even the mystery type egg ones, and my place would always be cold, and such heaters are impossible to find in Asia.

So it was interesting when you shared about freshwater fairy shrimp. I kept looking for more info on them but lacks alot and so few seems to care for them. Would love to know more about them.

[aetolius]

I got the sea monkey Mars tank earlier this month, been following your tips and vids to a T. they're still alive and well today I'm so excited! thank you I couldn't ever have gotten this far without your videos, for real. 😅😅

[sawyermclane]

First off, thank you so much for this channel! It's gotten me back into sea monkeys, which I haven't had since I was a little kid.

I'm trying to get a microalgae grow tank setup. I have all necessary equipment, except I don't have any algae currently growing in my monkeys' tank. Where/how do I get a starter "culture" of algae?

Thanks again!
