    Three dogs and a cat where not enough so my daughter got Aquadragons at christmas. They have gone through their first mating cycle and there are now hundreds in the very small tank, it could also do with fresh water. Has anyone had any success transferring these over to a larger tank. Thanks

    I had to Google this as I had no clue what you were talking about. It appears they are Brine Shrimp so I'm moving your thread to the sub forum.

    I can't help you with your query but it just has to be said - what complete and utter cruelty. This has to beat goldfish in bowls any day. Living creatures are not toys and I can not fathom how it is legal to sell these creatures to be kept in this manner with an obvious assumption by the 'manufacturer' that they will not live long. I'm absolutely seething at this.

    Yep, brine shrimp.
    When I was a kid I sent away for these by mail order, but they were called "sea monkeys" in those days. They had the same smiling faces on the picture on the box, but the body was more monkey-like than dragon-like. Supposedly you could train them to swim through hoops and do various tricks.



    So now theres's a new marketing ploy, and a whole new generation of disappointed and disillusioned kids learning about dishonest advertising :(
