I purchased this set &really like the tank shape & the usb light. Wish the top opening was a tiny bit wider to be able to accomodate a heater & normal air stone, but it seems to be doing well with me aerating it manually 2x daily with the the device which was enclosed. Love the clean look of it and think the documentation is excellent. Mine are now a week and a half old & doing really well. They do seem to be (as of today, anyway) to be significantly smaller than the sea monkey babies at the same age. I’ll take that because these seem happy and healthy. Within the past few months I have had dismal failure with 4 set-ups from the Sea Monkey kits. One of them happened when I put some algae from my Betta’s set up into the (previously happy and healthy colony with several adults, teens, and juveniles). Within an hour of doing that, they all were dead except 2. I took the two surviving young ones out of there and put them in a tank with 3 day olds- which then all promptly died. The Hydropets seem hardier and as of this date are doing extremely well.

It's a shame the packet contents didn't work out, but I really do like the increased volume and built in light for this tank! I also find the smooth color changes for the light to be much preferable to the one in the ocean adventure tank; it seems a bit annoying to have a light continually flashing on and off as it changes colors. The lack of a need for batteries is a big plus, too!

This seems like a more convenient tank for work/personal desks since it has the LED light inside and it also can fit a air line in, so you don’t need to have a lot of space for it. I feel like you could make some adjustments to it to fit a heater in there like maybe cut a small hole in the top area to fit it in, or in the back and just patch the hole back up before adding in water. I’m not too sure but I think it’s possible, at least until they do it themselves. Since they’re relatively new, it’s likely they’ll adjust to better suit the growing conditions

Hey Picocosmas, so my son got this for Christmas and we set it up the next day. We did get around 30-40 brine shrimp to hatch without any heat or air bubblizer machine. Though your right on the difficulty on getting air into the tank. And that there were not clear instructions on feeding the shrimp. I did end up feeding them to much and to early, which destroyed the colony. Lessoned learned for my first time at this.
@anie6142
Жыл бұрын
Well, now I know that these guys might not survive but I'm still ordering the tank since it is pretty cool. I do know that putting a growth light (at least like the ones I own) right on the tank (touching the walls or very close) generates enough heat to warm the water but not enough to be a hot spot or boil the little guys so that might be an option for heating the tank since the base is raised too high for a heat mat and the tank opening too little for the mini aquarium heater. I might end up using the stickers on cards I mail to friends or to decorate photos but probably not on the tank as it's the original purpose for it. I might cheat and add extra aquarium sea salt to the water to even out the salinity due to the larger water volume but if it still fails at least I tried, and will definitely wait 4 to 5 days to feed the guys because the instructions did mess up on that front. Awesome review and it is a pretty cool tank specially with the light changing feature, I might put this tank on my bedroom and have it on for a while before going to bed since it looks very relaxing.
@anie6142

Update! I ordered and received the tank in the mail and I noticed a few key differences. Mine includes a fill line imbedded on the inside of the tank, the salt and egg pouch seems to be bigger and about the same size as the food pouch (no moisture in mine that I could tell but I'd have to open it to be sure), which doesn't have the closing feature as the one in your review, I am not sure if the food formulation changed but guess I'll know once I open it as well, hopefully it's not just spirulina but if it is no a big deal but hopefully it's a finer mix so the baby brine shrimp can eat it easier. The biggest difference I saw was in the feeding instructions, it no longer says 2-3 days before the first feeding, it now says 3-4 days. I haven't tested the light feature and the rest of the instructions and the cable and the stickers seem to be exactly the same. I don't know if these changes were due to this review in particular or if the changes were already in the works due to the reviews of other costumers that purchased this kit.

I actually really like this kit. The tank is great and functional, the shape is more interesting than a standard sea monkeys kit, and the cycleable lights by themselves are better than any lighting solution Sea Monkeys came up with imo. Just the ability to be able to grow algae in their tank without additional tools is a big winner for me, especially if you seed it early on. doing that might encourage more algae to grow and avoid the crash from the positive feedback loop of ammonia spike and artemia death in the tank. If you give that a try, I'd like to know the results. It's a shame that without that knowledge, the amount of eggs made the colony doomed to fail though. That's the main con for me, but since it's an easy remedy, the tank is functional, and the makers had the foresight of having a resealable strip on the food makes this a win for me.

Awesome Hydro Pets Review. Love the usb led and light changing feature plus resealable packets but its sad to see the product/egg and results only give you few days of success. Additioinally the opening is too small even if you need to clean/ remove algae from the inner walls. It's still a fun idea but you'll need to mix reef salts and add brineshrimp eggs as you did. Hopefully someone day you'll contact the manufacturer and give them your proven & tested reviews so they can design the perfect Picocosmos Sea Monkeys Kit. That has built in designs for aeration heating and ease of maintenance!!! Maybe they can even have a separate single plane of magnifying plastic instead of the bubbles so you can easily attach it to magnify the entire front of the tank. I think this would be better as you can see everything instead of waiting to see a few secs of magnification when the sea monkeys dances into the view port. Cheers mate!

I'll be careful about how much I feed them and how soon as well. Fingers crossed! As for heating I've been looking at little flat ones, which would be great, but sadly none seem to have a thermostat on them, and I'm not too keen on cooking my Hydro Pets. Oh well.

It would be nice to see you stick a thermometer in there, and do a comparison. Specially for tanks like the Ocean Volcano and the Mars tank. If you can't get a heater in there and the heating mat is not effective, it would be a reason for some not to pick this tank up. Thanks for the review!! ~ Cheers

I just got one of these on clearance on Amazon. It was $12.50 so I figured why not. I'm going to give it a try with actual Sea Monkeys. The kit is too cool to send back, Plus it's only a few bucks.

If you ever decide to extend your content, and be unfaithful to the brine shrimp, I suggest betta fish. I LOVE them. Beautiful, easy to take care of and don´t require lots of space. As for this tank...I don´t like it. The whole aesthetic is so "neat" that gives a modern feeling to it and not something more hands on.

Not sure if I’ll ever go into fish tbh, my plans are currently to stick to the smaller animals of the “picocosmos” - I will probably do Killifish at some point though since they hatch from dried eggs similar to brine shrimp :)

Ahh gotcha! Yeah it would be cool to have a go at keeping one; I’ve seen them at the pet shop before, they’re such beautiful fish

How often should I feed the hydropets once the colony is established? The instructions state every 2 days, but this seems to contradict the instructions from the Sea Monkeys kit that says every 5 days. Just wondering why the despecancy. Is the Hydropets spoon smaller or is the hydrogrub formula less dense? Or is it because it is a larger tank? Thanks!

We started our hydro pet tank 3 days ago, following directions. No heater or additional bubbler. The food directions are not clear. I used the larger end as it says a flat spoonful. I hope I didn't add too much. 😕 we will see I guess. My concern is where do I purchase additional food? Or will they die before I can purchase more food?

I’d be impressed if you got them to live that long tbh. Spirulina powder works well as an alternative food source tho

The tank is [Bleep}ing awesome... except for the magnifying bubbles. I wish they would stop adding that to the containers, it's just annoying, to me at least.
