Answer 1

last year a friend and i bought some for her boyfriends mum from socrates. They had different packs for sea monkeys. the one we got had a necklace so you could carries some sea monkeys with you.

- this would sought out the taking to school problem.

buy the packs- they come with everything you need and instructions on how to care for them, when to feed

Answer 2

1) -

2) i wouldn't reccomend it. i have seen/heard of special sea-monkey travel kit things, but seriously, they're practically just brine shrimp (live food for fish)

3) you get some more, they probably won't last more than a few days without it

4) a turkey baster can make it easier to remove dead shrimp from the bottom of the 'tank', they should turn black once they die.

5) not sure what you want me to say, you can't exactly tank them on a holiday

6) there's not a whole lot you can do. feed them and change some water as often as possible.

7) in year 7 or 8, school shouldn't take up all that much time. there isn't much you have to be there for, all you have to do is feed them, which you can get someone else to do for you. otherwise you're just going to have to skip it and see how they go.

8) wherever you want, the shrimp aren't that fussy. not the best idea to keep them in direct sunlight, this could not only drastically heat the tank, but will encourage algae growth.

9) that depends what you mean by a bubbler. i'm guessing you mean an aerator, air line tubing and an air stone. it isn't really necessary for 'sea-monkeys'. the cost will depend on where you live. you will also need a gang valve to controll the air flow, otherwise it will be too strong.

10) don't get it if you can't afford it

11) not much. you can apparantly 'teach them tricks'. it should come with a little booklet explaining all this.

good luck :)

Answer 4

You can leave them at home.. And take care of them as you would take care of fish...... You just feed them once every few days i think, I dont remember.

When they die, i think you just leave them in there..

Keep your mini tank in your room somewhere, but not in direct sunlight.

If you cant afford a bubbler, you can blow into a straw for a couple of minutes a day.  

Answer 5

ive only had seamonkeys when i was very little so sorry i cant help but, unless you already bought them i say you should buy triops instead, there like $5 at hobby lobby and each pack contains enough eggs for mabye 10 to grow up to an inch and a half (much larger then seamonkeys) only thing bad is they only live 2 months, but when they die they lay eggs so you got to dry out the tank and add water for the eggs to hatch

you really dont need  to much besides $5 pack (includes eggs and food) , a few gallons of distilledwater just for making them hatch, some vegetables like carrots when you run out of food, and a tank (walmart has 10 gallon glass tanks for only $10 so thats good amount of space and you can see them)

triops vs sea monkeys
