Sea-Monkeys with an air-pump and undergravel filter in its tank, is it dangerous for the sea-monkeys?

I am getting sea monkeys again and im not using the tanks they sell, like on the website, and I’m putting the sea monkey’s in a fish tank just because there is going to be more than just one pack of the “instant eggs”. The tank i am getting comes with an undergravel filter, and an air pump, and i was wondering if anyone knew if i put those items in if it would kill the sea monkeys. I know that a special pump is sold for the sea-monkeys (on the website) to blow air into the tank but its a serperate thing, i dont even know how to explain what it is. And this air pump (w/ air tubing & air stone) acts as the same thing but its an actual fish pump. And the filter is to keep the tank clean, but gravel will be on top of that. These will be in and on in the tank all the time pretty much. If anyone can help, i would really appreciate it. thx

Have you ever raised sea monkeys?

I really want pets but my apartment is too small and a fish tank might not be allowed by my landlord. I got a few packages of Seamonkeys today im gonna give one to my partner. are they any good?
thanks, nice idea, I had a beta as a child it was cute. but dont you have to keep them warm?
I got mine from Regent Street in London

What are “sea monkeys” and why do they never look like they do in the pictures?

I have sent many times for the “sea monkeys” that are advertised in the comic books. According to the illustration, they appear to be part human, part fish. They even built their own houses and play guitars as well as many things that one would not expect from an aquatic animal. Nevertheless, whenever I received them and followed the instructions, they hatched into a rather primitive looking creatures that looked nothing like the illustrations, and appeared much too stupid to build a house of any kind. Thinking that they might need company, I dumped them into my fish tank at which time they were immediately eaten by the fish. I thought that if some of the sea monkeys played their guitars, that the music would placate the fish. Well I never even saw a little guitar before they were devoured by my angel fish. Now I feel terribly guilty due to my error. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong and what I can do to prevent similar tragidies in the future

What would happen if I added these things (similar to sea monkeys) to my fish tank?
