Class Pet

We are not pet people. Actually let me clarify that, I am not a pet person. We have had a cat and a dog and ended up giving both away. We just travel to much and stuff. So Juliet has been asking for a class pet.


I gave in .. what did we get??? SEA MONKEYS ! Only cause Juliet had no clue what they were and I just couldn't let her youth go by without experiencing sea monkeys. I killed my sea monkeys as a kid but Juliets has survived. We started out with about 15 and then they all died but two.


So the two have survived and become about 1/2 inch. Somehow they have had babies or we just have had really late hatchers, cause now there are five all together.
Just in case you have now idea what sea monkeys really are we did some homework. They are really brine shrimp that apparently have the ability to be dormant in their egg until being put in salt water. They live off algae also.

We'll keep you updated on how they go I can't get a real good pic on them so you might have to google a picture to get a close look.
