Review: Sea Monkeys on the Moon Mini World

I’m overall a pretty dorky person. I’m 25 I still enjoy a Saturday morning cartoon, and I have yet to outgrow toys. I’m a giant kid a heart, and people take notice. This year under the Christmas tree from my mom was a small package wrapped up with my name on it.

Inside was a cool set called Sea Monkeys On the Moon Mini World.

I have always loved Sea Monkey’s. They are easy to take care of, and fun to watch. In my time I have gotten my hands on quite a few unique and interesting sets and tanks that are made specially for Sea Monkey’s. I have an Executive Sea Monkey Set at work, filled with water, but the monkeys have died, and I kept it there anyway because I was too lazy to pack it up and bring it home.

The Sea Monkeys On the Moon Mini World though was a motive. I figured I’d bring home the old one, and deck out my office desk with the Moon set instead.

What The Kit Comes With:

One square tank that is about 2 inches high by3 inches wide. What is neat about this particular set is that it’s lid stays on snug and I don’t have to worry about any spills. The top of the lid slips on and off so feeding is easy.

The bottom of the tank is pretty cool too. It is supposed to be the moon, however it’s green, which reminds me of a lawn with craters in it. On the moon lawn, (or whatever the hell it is) are two orange aliens. One alien has 4 arms and 3 legs. It stands in at about a half inch tall, and is orange. The other alien sits more near the back on top of a large crater. He is the same neon orange color, with 3 eyes and 2 arms.

There are two plastic flags that stick up from the moon, and a blue space ship sitting behind the alien with 4 arms.

Overall the scenery is cute, maybe not professional enough to be on my office desk, but I don’t give a crap. Most of my co-workers think I’m immature anyway.

-The kit also comes with all of the things you need to bring your Sea Monkey’s to life. It revolves around 3 simple steps. Step 1 is to fill the tank with water, and to add the water purifier. You then must wait 24 hours… this is important, because if you add the monkey eggs to early you get less live creatures. So wait the damn 24 hours, or have no pets.

After 24 hours you can add the eggs. 5 days later add a small pinch of food.

The packages are labeled 1, 2, and 3. To screw up you’d have to be mildly moronic.

Overall:

The Sea Monkeys On the Moon Mini World was a neat gift. I like the scenery, and love the lid that stays firmly on the top. The lid also has 4 magnified bubbles that poke out, to make it easier to view small Sea Monkey’s.

Although it is a gift designed with kids in mind, do know adults can have fun watching the Sea Monkey’s as well.

Where To Buy:

You can buy the Sea Monkeys On the Moon Mini World set online, or at Target where my mom picked it up for $8.99. Amazon, and Ebay also sell the exact same set for a hell of a lot less. So if you want it, get it online.

Tip:

Although the lid rest snuggly on the top of the tank, you should be careful when moving it around, because it could pop off, are leak through the small breathing holes that are on the lid.
