What Were the REAL Original Sea Monkeys? is/are dried brine shrimp eggs mixed with saltwater nutrients in a tiny tank. These living time capsules hatch into lively swimmers overnight. Studies indicate gentle warmth and low light boost activity.

A single spoon of eggs can turn a quiet night into a tiny sea world. Keep the tank clean, dim, and stable for best results.
