Sea Monkeys / Brine Shrimp: How to hatch, what do they eat?

My son wants Sea Monkeys (aka Brine Shrimp eggs). I am not sure how to hatch them (what temperature water, how much water & how much salt to mix together), and what to feed them once they hatch so he can keep them alive. He wants to have some as pets in a tank and the others we will use to feed fish (so we MUST keep these little guys alive). Anyone know how to hatch, feed Sea Monkeys / Brine Shrimp?
I have looked at various toy stores for the sea monkey kit but cannot find one. I was told by all that it is seasonal item only carried in December (for upcoming Crhistmas). Know where to get them year-round?

  2. sea monkeys are fun! they come with everything you need to get started and they require little maintenance, also-i don’t think they count as a pet if you live in a place that doesn’t allow them-there are also lots of groups for owners of em….here’s a place to help get you started…

  3. I love the Sea Monkeys!!!!
    It is hard to keep them alive for more than a few weeks….The run of the mill Sea Monkey kit comes complete with everything you need to start your Sea Monkey Village….If not, need to let your water sit for a few days and add your eggs….They’ll hatch when ready…..Go to your local fish store and ask for feed for the little guys and feed them everyother day or so……Good Luck!!!
