Question:I was wondering if it works, and whether or not I can put in the flat bottomed marbles and a little plastic plant in the tank? Will it be safe for them? Will they enjoy it? I basically want to know everything u know about them. (I already went to seamonkey.com so please don't suggest that.) ^^ I want to know the opinions of people.
Thanks, Nara

OK one at a time...
Yes they work. Brine shrimp eggs can survive in a dried state for long periods of time, and activate upon being immersed in water.
Yes you can put all that stuff in the tank, it's safe for them. I doubt they will "enjoy" it, they're not really capable of complex emotions, they are very simple creatures! You will enjoy it more than they will!
Get yourself a good magnifying glass to watch them, they will grow and breed! Give them good quality food and they should be fine.
If you ever have a fish tank, you can feed the fish the occassional treat of some of the brine shrimp, it's a very healthy treat for them they love it! Don't worry, if you look after them well, they will breed like there's no tomorrow!
Sea Monkeys are so Hard core! WELL.. Not sure about the plants and what not.
it does work, but i think a waste of money, fish are much more enjoyable but more maintenance. My daughter had sea monkeys for about a year till she forgot to feed them, they bred like crazy in that time tho
the decorations will be fine and it will probably make the appearance more enjoyable but not the brine shrimp, just as the other user said, they r very simple fish/well maybe crustaceans(i think thats how u spell it) coz they r tiny shrimp
Anihoos another thing about them is that u have to use this bubble pump thing in their water every week or so, i dont realli remember coz i got mine a long time ago.
U feed them this powder thingy and they grow and breed.
Well i hope i helped! =D
Best of luck with ur new sea monkeys =] ^-^
They will do well in your plastic tank. Brine shrimp reproduce quickly so watch out. Also, if you are running a filter, you may have to block it off with a sponge or turn it off completely. Although for their size brine are great swimmers but no match for a filter. Also, you can purchase new eggs at the pet store.
an airstone for water movement is also a great idea.
