Just an update. It's been over 24 hours now, so I have gone ahead and added pack #2 "Instant Life" -

SMonkey2p.jpg

I've followed the instructions exactly, and so far - it turned the water slightly green... :mrgreen:

No signs of life yet, instant or otherwise. But I'll give it another 24. These are forty year old aged sea monkeys. They may not be as spry as they were in their youth.

Have you got the packet of little tiny crowns ready? When do you add that in?
I'm going to be really disappointed if Mom actually looks like Great Granny.

smithy-

Do you mean these:

I don't actually have those, no. But those are for adult sea monkeys. I've heard that if you drop them in too early, they will crush the little babies.

Despite my enthusiasm and initial optimism, it's been (almost) 48 hours now, and sadly, I must report that Project: Ancient Sea Monkeys is a total bust.

I have a jar of pale green water with tiny brown specks floating at the top, which are the eggs, I assume. No life, no movement at all. Nothing.

Perhaps 40 years was a bit too long to wait. I may try this again with a fresher kit, LOL.

(Or maybe I'll try the pop rocks :idea: )

Just a couple of weeks ago, I went to drink what I thought was my small glass of O.J....luckily, I tasted the salt water before I swallowed it. Why do I keep them monkeys in the same glasses? Bleh!! :cry:
