Do Sea Monkey Eggs Expire?

A true MIRACLE of nature, Sea-Monkeys® actually exist in SUSPENDED ANIMATION! While inside their tiny eggs, yet unborn, they burn the “spark of life” for many YEARS! The Instant-Life® crystals in which the eggs are enclosed, preserve their viability and help to-extend still further, their unhatched life span!

What is the shelf life of Sea-Monkeys?

The life expectancy of a sea-monkey is two years. But they reproduce a lot so as long as you care for them properly and remove the dead ones from the tank you ought to have a supply of them forever.

How do they preserve sea monkey eggs?

In the Sea-Monkey kit the eggs are packaged in a chemical compound Von Braunhut called "Instant-Life Crystals," which helped preserve the eggs in the kit, thus making them last longer. This made these Sea-Monkey's even more mysterious. Under the correct conditions Sea-Monkeys can grow rapidly.
