Goliath Animagic Aqua Dragons Hatch 'n' Grow Basic Tank | Build an Aquatic Ecosystem, Watch Prehistoric Pets Hatch & Grow Science Kit | Ages 6+

Day 3 hundreds of visible shrimp swimming in all directions! Short Simple instructions, easy setup, everything needed for first generation included (yep, the instructions proport if you take care they spawn future generations). After a month, most are dead. About 7 are full size half inch long. I wish I'd started with a 1 gallon aquarium or larger. You will need to mix 4 tbsp, non iodized salt to a gallon of bottled water, and you should get a fish tank air pump for them. Leave the air diffuser near the top of the water, or it just spins them round. If you want them to survive, you need to get them in a much larger environment that will stay healthier longer, they grow so quick, they're such amazing creatures and so much fun to watch. But that water starts evaporating pretty fast and gets toxic. These are brine shrimp and you can order brine shrimp eggs, but be extremely careful not to put too many into your aquarium because they all hatch. I put a 1/2 a teaspoon in a one gallon aquarium a couple days ago, and the thing is shoulder to shoulder, with hatched shrimp within 2 days and again within a month. They'll be a hundred times that size So I wish I'd put in less in my one gallon aquarium that I moved my seven remaining aqua dragons to or really that I'd started my aqua dragons in a 1 gallon aquarium

Great hatch rate, hatched within 24 hours. Instructions are simple to follow as well. Will repurchase for next time

I got a set of aqua dragons in March and mine are still alive and growing so I wanted some more. Lol. I got this one. I like the thin tanks because the green stuff at the bottom isn't that bad. That's the pro. The con is that it's really easy to tip over when putting air in it. So if your doing this with children it may not be a good idea to let them do the air bubbles on their own because the tank will tip over when putting air in the tank so that they can breathe! Don't forget to give them air once daily for 1 minute straight and push the air in slowly. Take your time because of they are mating you don't want them to get stuck together. Yes...that happens and it's really sad. They get stuck together and when the female or male dies it's still stuck to the alive one. One day I tried helping the male because the female died and turned black...sad I know 😞 what's even worse is I was pinning down the dead one so the other one could try and unstick himself. It was working but then my cat hit my arm and my arm slipped and hit the bottom of the tank. BOOM dead 😭😭😭😭 both gone. omg I was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo freaken sad that day!!! Tips: only feed once a week. Give air once daily for a minute straight. Be gentle with the air bubbles. Don't take out the green stuff at the bottom. And when putting the air in once daily, don't go all the way to the bottom and then put air in. Don't go passed half the tank. Because the stuff on the bottom will get all throughout the water. you'll see what I mean a Month or two later. Lol. If there are little white balls of stuff. Take it out asap. It's a fungus that can make them sick. It happens with sea monkeys alot but it's rare in aqua dragons. Not sure why....could be the tank. Not sure. Don't ever over feed them. If they look dark (Black almost) they are overfed. If they are pink or redish they need more air they are dieing from not being able to breathe. So give more air. If you see any at the bottom of the tank and they are solid black, curled up and not moving, make sure it's not a dead female. If it is, leave her there for a few days and then pick her up for the funeral. Lol. It's because they eggs could detached from the "belly" and could get hatched within the first 48 hours so there's that....so yah leave it for a day or two... The water will evaporate over time so make sure you use the same bottled water that you used to begin with and refill it. I put a sticker there so that it's easier to know exactly where the water stops/ begins. Definitely perfect first pet for kids but be there when they put the air in. Otherwise you may end up with a bunch of dead sea monkeys anyway because the tank will tip over.

Super cute little critters. I’ve never had one of these kits work before, this one hatched all kinds of ‘dragons’ started with probably 100, down to around 25 now. That is normal. They are breeding like crazy and we will eventually have a new generation to enjoy. I bought them for my 8!year old grandson and I love them as much as he does. A great little way to watch life happen and enjoy with your kids or just yourself!
