This is currently the cheapest Aqua Dragons kit with a tank, and gives clearer viewing than most other brine shrimp tanks. I removed the plastic wrap around it as I'm using an aquarium airstone in the tank and found that "salt creep" was getting underneath the wrap. It's easy to remove and improves visibility too. The instructions that come with them usually work well, and are more effective and educational than Sea-Monkey kit instructions. The egg packet also contains a far larger number of viable eggs than Sea-Monkey kits. As with rearing any live animal, I would recommend doing a little research before starting however - watching a couple of short YouTube videos on raising brine shrimp will give you a good head start . They need a bright and warm spot, so you can use a heat mat/mini aquarium heater if your space is too cold, and you can use a small grow light if the space is too dark. An air pump is not needed, but improves conditions and saves having to manually "aerate" (really just mix the water and put food particles in the water for feeding). I'm kinda weirdly obsessed with these types of brine shrimp kits and have tried many different brands and kits over the years - Aqua Dragons are currently the best brand IMO and this kit is the value for money compared to the others at the moment too :).

I bought these for my partner (40 going on 12) as a bit of fun for christmas after she mentioned that they looked "really cool" after seeing them online. We've had them going eight days now, and I'll be honest I really didn't think we'd get ANYTHING to hatch, as the whole thing sounds very gimmicky. However 2 feeds later and plenty of air pumping we now have what do actually look like cute little water dragons. Our top tips, for successful dragons are (especially for parents...) 1. Ignore the instructions, and throw them in the bin (seriously) 😉 2. Use fresh bottled water at room tempriture to start with (NOT tap water) 3. Pour the whole sachet of dragon eggs into the tank and pop the lid on. Place the tank for the first two days in the living room, or somewhere its not too hot or cold. Not near a window to start with! (LEAVE THEM ALONE) 4. After two days we put our hatchlings in our kitchen window, which is slightly cooler than our living room. You could just see them if you looked really carefully. 5. Supervise your kids, if you overfeed or try and rush the hatching process, it will fail like so many other people have said. Have patience. 6. IMPORTANT... Five to six pumps of air at a regular times per day to air the water with the pipette provided. 7. Hopefully on day 8, like us you'll be able to see little dragons develop, you will see they have now formed dragon like tails!!! Regarding food, we didn't even feed the hatchlings until three days after hatching, and only used a level spoon of the food (with the spoon provided) it totally covered the top of the water. You don't really need to feed them again until all of that has dissappeared after two or so days. Hopefully that little guide will help with parents and kids frustrations at nothing happening 😉 All in all value for money, a great novalty present that has everything you need to grow water dragons. The tank doesn't leak, for what you should use, the food should last week's, and by day eight you'll lose count of how many of these fascinating little creatures there are. Would recommend and would definately buy again for someone as a novalty present. Parental supervision definately required and lots of patience.

I luckily had put no creatures in there, yet... . But when my Aqua Dragons aquarium fell about 60cm onto a stone floor, it broke down. Also, water can easily run out of it with a lid like that. The colour of the aquarium is lovely. I would still recommend getting a small glass tank or a plastic tank designed as a small animal carrier. This aquarium can get knocked over too easy, I am afraid. When I added a thermometer to my original aquarium, it also tore away the layout with the nice Aqua Dragons design that is not printed onto the aquarium itself but more for marketing reasons and part of the packaging. What's more, it does not reveal what is inside the eggs sachet and the nutrition sachet as of detailed nutritional ingredients used. I would like to give 3.5 stars, also because the set is containing everything needed but a decent aquarium... . Rounding up to 4 stars because I love watching sea creatures and the product is better advertised than Sea Monkeys. Before you buy them, these are LIVING animals. If you go on holidays, get a pet sitter. Don't discriminate against those creatures simply because they are made of less cells than a human being, and certainly don't let them drown in a toilet bowl alive. Thank you! These animals are not a toy but make a nice science project that may keep you busy for many, many months, if you keep on feeding them and raise new generations, you can make this a hobby.

Bought for my son and he loves them! He was upset at first because I didn't read the instructions properly and I used tap water instead of room temperature bottled spring water so I ordered another one for him straight away assuming that I messed it all up before they even had a chance to hatch, I ordered another set but I thought I'd keep the original one by the sunlight on the windowsill just incase they'd still hatch and omg they did (it took around 4/5 days for them to hatch if I remember correctly. Good job I gave them a chance cos look at them go lol! They seem to be thriving in the tap water I used lol but I'll be reading instructions properly in future, my son loves watching them swim and grow

Absolutely fantastic!! I never ever expected this many to hatch. I put them in on the 1st Jan There are many, can't wait to see them become adults

Not impressed .it came with 2 bags of eggs. And I had already put the eggs in water but now have no food. Had to buy a starter set for £9.99 and pay extra for it to arrive today so I can at least feed them.

Jätte bra! Nöjd son

so good perfect design thank you so much I really appreciate that 👍😊😊

Facile à installer et très sympa de voir l'évolution. Ils vivent assez longtemps pour en profiter

super easy to grow, simple, small amount of care other than blowing bubbles into tank and feeding them

El producto funciona perfectamente, los dragones salieron al tercer día, los oxígenamos mediante una piedra atomizadora cinco minutos al día, y los alimentamos cada tres días, están muy bien , las fotos son antiguas por lo que ahora están mucho más grandes, a mi hijo le encantaron
