  Where do sea monkeys come from

Home

    The scientific name of this species is "Artemia Salina". They are saltwater shrimp, used for many years as fish food because of their high protein content. Mr. Harold Braunhut discovered that they were better pets than the fish and developed formulas to grow Sea-Monkeys in a unique and fun way. First sold as Instant Life, Mr. Braunhut thought they looked like little monkeys swimming around with their long tails. Sea monkeys live in a full size underwater environment that is large enough for multiple families of Sea-Monkeys and has more than enough room for the other 20 different aquatic inhabitants, such as puffer fish, jellyfish, stingrays, dogfish, octopus, sea horses, carnivorous plants, angel fish and many more.
