For those of you who have had Sea Monkeys for years or have just run out of food for those little guys, I've found the perfect solution!  Through my research, I've learned that you can feed your sea monkeys Spirulina powder.  However, I wasn't sure of a place where I could buy some in case I ever needed to.  Behold a perfect substitute for the growth food in those little kits, Simply Spirulina Powder by the Hermit Crab Patch!  It might seem small, but trust me, it will last a lifetime!

I've also learned that you could feed them Brewers/Bakers Yeast from time to time as well.

A Whole New Experience: Sea Monkey Project

Everyone knows sea monkeys are a hit for children, which might make you stop and wonder why I'm writing a post about them.  When I was a kid I used to love getting these instant growing pets.  I would prefer triops, but I couldn't get them to live much longer than a few weeks.  My sea monkeys never seemed to work out either, or maybe they did and I just wasn't paying enough attention.  So, much like many other people on the internet, I stumbled across something I wasn't necessarily looking for.

I decided that I'd give these little guys another shot, since further research and google images convinced me that these are actually pretty cool (and cute) little creatures!  I've seen these kits in my local Walmart for about $5.00, so I plan to pick up one soon.  However, in my opinion the little container they're supposed to live in is pretty tacky so I also plan to turn this into a bit of a D.I.Y project!  Of course, I'll be updating along the way so be sure to follow along!
