Seatures™ growing kits are science based STEM toys for children from the age 4 and up.
The process of hatching the eggs, caring for the live aquatic creatures and watching them grow teaches the child the basics of the animal's life cycle. Furthermore, as a STEM toy, the child is expected to demonstrate a proactive approach, problem solving skills and learn about cause and effect.
Brine Shrimp are the perfect pets. Watching Brine Shrimp hatch, grow, eat and swim around is an unforgettable journey that lasts for months. Growing Brine Shrimp as pets requires very little time, they make no noise, and you do not need to take them out for a walk three times a day.
The best food for brine shrimp is Spirulina.Spirulina is considered a Superfood due to the high nutritional value per gram. It is packed with vitamins and minerals and is much better than yeast or any other option.
Brine shrimp are found in oceans and salt marshes; they are found in the natural salt lakes of Utah, California, New Mexico, and the oceans. They are one of the few multi-cellular organisms that have flourished in the Great Salt Lake.
The salt level for brine shrimp is based on the following formula: For every liter / quart of bottled water, one tablespoon and two-thirds of salt should be added.
The optimal pH level of the water is about 7.5–8.If the PH level is lower, consider adding Sodium Bicarbonate (Known as Baking Soda) dissolved in water. Add a few drops using a pipette and measure the PH level again.Monitor the PH level using a PH monitor.
Absolutely, watch them swim towards the light every time you hold a flashlight close to the Brine Shrimp Aquarium. Remember to avoid direct sunlight to avoid high water temperature and water evaporation.
It is recommended to aerate the water three times a week using a pipette.Brine shrimp need oxygen dissolved in the water, so adding fresh oxygen is necessary from time to time.
