We have just had our last one die
The whole tank seemed to live for about 4 months and then there was only one for about 8 months all on its own. We named him Wilbur.

I am the Sea-Monkey queen
Yes, mine lived long and happy lives. Fun fact: Sea-Monkeys have A LOT of sex, I would not advise it for children who haven't had the "birds & bees" talk yet.

I also bought the Sea-Monkey racetrack for $10. How many people can say they own a Sea-Monkey racetrack?

I can still
recall the infantile longing I experienced for these. I live in the antipodes and before the days of the interweb or creditcards had no means of buying these amazing creatures. I can remember like yesterday poring over the ads and the powerful feeling of wanting, no, needing these humanlike but surprisingly cheap exotic american animals.
can't recall the small disclaimer being printed on the bottom back in the 70s.
I suspect I may have been disappointed by a packet of brine shrimp spore.
