Sea Monkeys Rule!

The Sea-Monkeys story began in 1960 as the brainchild of inventor and nature-lover Harold von Braunhut, and since have become a part of American culture and a worldwide phenomenon.

American Pop Culture may lack regalia, polish and social grace, but it's the only real living breathing culture we've got. Maybe we can't all find our state on a map or properly fill out a job application . . . but we can all name the three Rice Crispies guys! What's more important to Americans than fun? Nothing. That's why we made a culture out of "Fun" and "Nothing". And nobody does it better. Crap culture belongs to us . . . relish it, embrace it with pride and honor it's heroes . . . I am proud to have had the opportunity to chronicle some of the genius of Harold Von Braunhut, inventor of fun and creator of Sea-Monkeys! "Sea-Monkeys are the perfect pet. You don't have to walk them, you barely even have to feed them and they don't leave any nasty surprises in your slippers."- Chuckie's dad Chaz on Rugrats

The "instant pets" known as Sea Monkeys have been everywhere -- even outer space -- and its maker Exploratoy is capitalizing on their journeys with two new space-themed toys displayed at the recent American International Toy Fair.

My third sea-monkey died last week. At first I thought it might be giving birth

Did you know that we offer a cute range of oceanic critters that spring to life just like Sea Monkeys do? And that they can all be kept in the same little tank together? They come in the same type of powders, ship anywhere around the world, and are guaranteed to hatch before your very eyes.

The fascinating natural history of the Great Salt Lake. The brine shrimp, Artemia, (sea monkeys) belong to the phylum Arthropoda (joint-legged invertebrates), class Crustacea (shrimp, crab, lobster). There are several species of Artemia worldwide; Artemia franciscana is the species living in Great Salt Lake (and also in San Francisco Bay). Brine shrimp live in hypersaline lakes in which the salt content may be 25%, predators and competitors are few, and algal production is high. The life cycle of Artemia begins from a dormant cyst that contains an embryo in a suspended state of metabolism (known as diapause).
