You've heard of the phrase, "monkey on your back". Now there's "sea monkeys on your neck".
I had a sea monkey watch - it rocked!!!!

I like sea monkey's...but it is creepy...limited life span in the locket Of DEATH....:shudder

Sounds like more fun than a barrel of Sea Monkeys!

i had them for a long time...but then my mom told me today i think there.............dead!
By , at 1/15/2006 04:47:00 PM
Oh so that's how my sea monkeys died. Erm I was a dumb kid with my sea monkey watch.
By , at 7/20/2006 10:46:00 PM
do they stay alive if you keep them in a bigger tank
By , at 7/25/2006 09:45:00 AM
i got see monkeys a few days a go and how do they grow and how big do they get there so cool!!!
By , at 8/06/2006 10:16:00 PM
Does nobody think this is insanely cruel? These sea monkeys are guaranteed to live for 2 years - but hey, let's wear a live animal around our necks in a "locket" and kill them in 12 hours because it looks "cool". What responsible parent would actually let their child carry an aquatic creature around in a tiny plastic necklace at school?
These things are twisted, and should be banned.
By , at 1/31/2007 11:52:00 PM
That is not right to put a harmless creture in a necklace and were it to school and parties and in public.Who cares if you think its cool.Its still not fair for the sea monkeys!Some animals like dogs or cats would not like to be shoved in a necklace/cage to were for fashion.Thats animal cruelty people.Think how you would feel cramped up in a necklace...not to comfortible.Remember ANIMAL CRUELTY IS NOT RIGHHT!
By , at 2/05/2007 02:50:00 PM
you know, before I knew what seamonkeys really were, I thought they were cool.
By Negativ1, at 2/09/2007 07:55:00 AM
Merchants, anything to make a buck!! Parents, dumb enough to buy these lockets/watches, do you realize you are providing your children with "cool" and have them watch something DIE?
By , at 2/14/2007 05:18:00 AM
They are not real "sea monkeys" but actually brine shrimp eggs that you hatch. They are food for smaller sea life in the wild. People these days especially young kids are so unintelligent these days...such a pity for the 21st Century!
By , at 3/27/2007 10:49:00 AM
that's just cruel.
By , at 5/14/2007 07:13:00 PM
yeh, i think sea monkeys are cool and theyll live if you keep them in a proper tank but theres no need to wear them round your neck or in a braclet its just crule!
By , at 6/16/2007 06:03:00 AM
They have no central nervous system...so i doubt it matters wether they're dead or not, especially considering the abundance. Also, if any of you people saying that 'its cruel to shorten a sea monkeys' life span' had half a brain, you'd know that they were used as fisherman's bait before they were pets....So, in all reality, what the hell is the problem?
By , at 6/21/2007 10:02:00 PM
I admit that it probably would be cool to show off that you have sea monkeys, but why on earth would you want to kill them? It is against the law to kill animals, you know, because it's animal cruelty. However, wouldn't you be able to transfer them back into the normal tank so that they can live a normal, healthy life?
By , at 6/23/2007 03:27:00 PM
all the people that think that sea monkeys arent cool u suck
By , at 7/03/2007 08:26:00 PM
u peoples are so stupid with your ANIMAL CRUELTY!The lockets are to wear and have fun.They have no nervous system anyways,so have fun!!WEEEEEEEE
By Melissa, at 7/12/2007 08:17:00 PM
It isn't cruel to the sea-monkeys, you anonymous person!!!! You are so obsessed! I mean, I think animal cruelty sucks just as much as you do, but the sea monkeys don't care as long as they are in water, and you can just put them back in the tank later. They aren't guaranteed to die in this thing or anything! Plus, you said it is a pity for the 21st century how unintelligent kids are and you're not even using proper grammar or spelling! Look who's talking!!!
By , at 7/23/2007 07:19:00 AM
Can anyone say Cruel and Unusual Punishment?!!!! Would you like to be kept in a very small container just to die a misserable death for stupid fashion that won't even matter in a month? That is just sick!!!! Poor things, think before you do this! Please!!
Wynterwolf
By , at 7/28/2007 06:51:00 AM
Everybody who thinks that u CANT put the Sea Monkeys Back into the ORGINAL
Tank is SOOOOOOOO stupid. You know, Before 12 hours are up, u could Transfer them back! Everybody who thought that is SSOOOOOOOOOOOOO dumb
By , at 8/06/2007 07:03:00 PM
THIS IS HORRIBLE!!!!! and u, melissa, and animal lover who isn't a freak are just completely CRAZY!!!! this is pure cruelty! would u guys seriously want to be put in a small container to die?!?!? huh? yeah i didn't think so! so shut up and stop being such brats!
THIS SHOULD BE BANNED!!!!
By , at 8/15/2007 03:41:00 PM
Okay this is not cruel to the sea monkeys.
If they were in the sea, they wouldnt have the food that is provided by humans and would probably get squished or eaten in 2 seconds flat.
And as long as you put them back in a larger tank before 24 hours & keep them in the light [they dont like darkness] then your sorted, and the sea monkey[s] got to have a nice bit of light.
NOTE : no direct sunlight, magnifying glass and sun do not mix, as we all know, cos ya might just end up with frazzled monkey.
and that WOULD be cruel!
By , at 8/22/2007 05:16:00 PM
I think that melissa and animal lover who isn't a freak are right the necklace is just something fun and that you can put the sea monkeys back in the tank befor the day is over. YOU 2 ROCK ( MELISSA AND ANIMAL LOVER WHO IS NOT A FREAK ) :-) :-) :-)
By , at 9/02/2007 03:34:00 PM
Look. To all those people out there who,apparently, have brain tumor, pls LISTEN. I think that animal cruelty stinks as well but this is not a case! To all those people who actually WANT to see their sea-monkeys die, you suck. ok? But there is nothing wrong with showing off your ROCKING pets as long as you transfer them back into their tanks BEFORE the 12 hours are up!( By the way, you CAN actually transfer them back. Also, please do it gently.) Now, I hope that those dodo-heads out there who still think that this is animal cruelty, I hope you have learnt something. SEA-MONKEYS ROCK!
By , at 9/08/2007 08:07:00 AM
This is cruel but why would you want a ugly SHIMP in a watch. Also if these are pets think about this. Would you want a dog or cat in a locket. so just make sure you take the little guys out before 12 hrs. Like right after school or somthing.
By , at 10/14/2007 12:27:00 PM
The 12 hour time limit implies you should transfer them Back into their tank when the 12 hours are up, this isn't meant to kill them,
By , at 10/15/2007 01:06:00 PM
$13.39 for kill 2 sea monkeys... Interesting...
By Elizabeth Blue Rain, at 11/13/2007 02:58:00 PM
I put my kid in a locket and let the sea monkey wear it around its neck.
By , at 11/16/2007 12:54:00 AM
melissa who in'nt a freak is right! anonymous person.
By , at 11/27/2007 01:27:00 PM
people shut up please!! its not animal cruelty u just put them in the big tank after thats what i did and there right beside me now
By , at 11/28/2007 07:47:00 PM
hi people, im 10 yrs old n in a couple of days for christmas im getting sea monkeys and i dont think its cruel at all to have sea monkeys, ok yes keeping 1 or 2 in a neclace for so long is cruel and by the way you dont leave them in there for ever u take them out and put them back in their tank after 1 or 2 hours. i know which 1 im getting and im getting a tank that comes with a key ring i can put 1 in and show my friends at skool.its not like when i get home im not going to put them back in their tank, of course am going to. well thats my opininon!! :)
By , at 12/21/2007 04:06:00 PM
Who is to say that is right or wrong. It depends on how you use the product. I have a sea monkey necklace and intend to use it in a manner that will not be harmful to any sea monkeys. I am against animal cruelty. Keeping one or two in a necklace designed for them is not going to kill them if it's used properly.
By , at 1/01/2008 08:58:00 AM
thats cruel. it really is. there suppose to live for 2 years or more.
i had some, that i got for christmas. they werent in a locket or anything, & they ended up dying -- exactly today. !
By , at 1/06/2008 10:38:00 AM
I woudl love to wear some shrimp and then have their dead little boddies bounce around after 12 hours. SO cool! anna23@natureday.com
By Anna, at 1/15/2008 03:31:00 PM
anonymous is so mean all it is is a good pet that teaches responsibility to kids and is totally awesome duh
By , at 1/21/2008 04:29:00 PM
im so confused...how do i get the sea monkeys in the locket thing?
By , at 2/28/2008 06:31:00 PM
i dont think people should get so worked up about what people do with the sea monkeys, they would constaly are getting killed by fisherman so much so let people do what they want it dosn't matter stop hassiling people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By , at 3/12/2008 07:49:00 PM
It's CREEPY and WRONG! For like, five minutes to clean the tank, go ahead. but as there HOME?
By , at 3/14/2008 09:35:00 PM
First of all, i used to think "sea monkeys" weren't real before i realized they were.haha , dumb of me. but now i think they're so kawaii!!!!(cute in japanese), until i searched them on google and they look like jelly fishes!!! not offense sea monkeys! any way my friend said yesterday her mom bought her 70 sea monkey eggs and a tank and one of those lockets.Dudes or dudettes( im not a boy, im a girl), im with ya'll on the animal cruelty, because placing an live animal in a so called plastic "locket" is sooo mean!!!! and my friend told me she was going to bring two sea monkeys to school in that "locket" and probably doesn't even know they're going to die in 12 hours!!!! but she does know they'll die in two years, anyway animal cruelty is so totally mean!
By , at 3/24/2008 05:33:00 PM
Where can you buy sea monkeys anyway? they don't even sell little fishies at our Walmart anymore and we bought two fishes like last year.
By , at 3/25/2008 03:43:00 PM
could you get a sea monkey package on e-bay? heh =). i really am crazy for them since yesterday. oh and i'm the person who said that the sea monkeys were kawaii ( cute in japanese). and my friend didn't bring the monkeys to school cause they were too tiny. because she just hatched them yesterday. do you have to hatch the eggs in 78 degrees Fahrenheit?
By ♫Music_L4ver♫, at 3/25/2008 03:50:00 PM
I had a necklace like this! But instead of a sea monkey it was a grain of rice with my name on it... lasts a lot longer
By , at 4/19/2008 02:17:00 AM
ok but when your sea-monkey is dead don't come crying to me i told you
By , at 5/24/2008 05:33:00 AM
I agree it's not nice, but it doesn't DIE after 12 hours unless you leave it in there. it says on the instructions not to leave it in for longer. "The unique locket is a water-filled bubble that holds two Sea-Monkeys for up to 12 hours" they mean you take it out after that. your supposed to put it back in the tank!
By , at 5/29/2008 03:55:00 PM
Sure, the box says they won't die if you put them back in 12 hours. It also says they'll live for 2 years. It's just a load of crap to earn money. And its not just being put into the locket, bracelet whatever it is, unless you're positive to fill the whole thing up, which in that case, they won't have any air, they'll be pushed around everytime you move. Being flung into a wall of a tiny little container, fun!
By , at 6/01/2008 01:05:00 PM
this is sick and twisted they should'nt let people do that it's like puting a litle kid in a watch where he would only live for 12 hours
By , at 6/30/2008 06:43:00 PM
thats somewat cool but its soo mean!i cant believe u want to kill apoor helpless animal!its one of gods creations!and it shuold be treated like one of us!and im with anonymous girl
By , at 7/31/2008 07:20:00 AM
Will All Of You SHUT UP
Stop arguing... everyone has their opinions, and everyone has the right to buy the necklace if they feel its not a bad thing to do...
IIIII wouldn't buy it, but I don't necklaces anyways, so figure out some sort of agreement...
BYE
By Gabriella, at 8/10/2008 06:26:00 AM
i like sea monkeys well they look and sound cool i might get some if my mom agrees to get me some i told her they were just like fish only beter she thought they sounded wierd but i think that puting them in the loket/watch of death is just wrong i mean sher it pretty cool but still i think its just cruel!by the way my name is megan. well bye!
By , at 8/14/2008 08:02:00 PM
These lockets are cool. and besides, you can just put them back in tank after 12 hours.
these lockets are ment for fun,
just don't jump while wearing them and don't
wear them while at your young people's party diva dance crazy out of control partys. the little things will get squshed!!!

By , at 9/13/2008 01:23:00 PM
alrite. Sounds fun but hey we spend time, effort, and money getting these little guys to hatch and then we kill them?! huh wats up with that? seriously i mean come on! They live for up to 2 years for heavens sake! these should be ban. I will ring the rspca. wow you know we could all get necklaces twice as cool as this but they don't destoy a life. Maybe there is millions of other SEA MONKEYS not BRINE SHRIMP in the world but hey we love ours and why the heck would we wanna do somthing so stupid????? you lot puzzle me and yes i have alot 2 say but there are others that agree with me so deal the hell with it! alrite glad thats off my chest. pheww
By , at 9/29/2008 08:07:00 PM
to me it sounds kool but i wouldnt put it in 1 of those locket things I MEAN Y SHOULD THERE LIFE HAVE ANY LESS VALUE THAN OURS besides even if you do put them back in the tank before 12 hours they like mite be injured from u walking and getting hit against the walls or something JUST KEEP THEM IN TH FREAKING TANK!!!!!!
By , at 9/30/2008 04:07:00 PM
u can buy sea mokyes online or at like Toys R Us
By , at 9/30/2008 04:12:00 PM
Listen Up Homeboyz and Homegirlz!
Comparing a sea monkey to a cat or a dog is just plain idiotic! Personally, I love putting sea monkeys in allllll my jewelry. I got necklaces and bracelets watches rings even earring and my belly button ring is the coolest. I get billions of comments (good ones of course) about my cool jewelry. The boyz cant resist me and my creatures. When they die, i just eat them and put more in. My cat likes to eat them too (is that wrong?)Animal lover who isn't a freak i feel ya man. Anonymous people are whack..they aint even got enough balls to leave a name...booyah! Animal cruelty only applies to REAL animals you whackos! Sea monkeys wouldnt even survive in the ocean that is why we buy them in packets of powder and pour them into a tank of fresh water HELLO get your brain on!!! peace love and hate bias!

:P sat in DT reading this and let me say... having tp smile.. ur all very opinnionated lol and tbh it's upto the buyer if they want to buy it and seirously u people out there read the instructions then do as they say.. and seriously u eople like OMG!!! NOT THE POOR LITTLE SEA MONKEYS go hug a rabbit.
they'r samll but u cant stand infront of every fish or thing thats gon kill it and go NOOOO away it;s cute and ur cruel... i can see ur dowey eyes from here:P
ha! chill out or get out (a social life isnt somehting u can buy at green peace ) :D
By , at 11/21/2008 03:46:00 AM
Even if you don't admit this is cruel, you can't deny it is plain evil to put kill a living thing slowly for your amusement.
By , at 12/03/2008 04:14:00 AM
This is a neat idea because u can wear em then put em back in the tank BUT for a 5 YEAR old all they are going to do is shake them which means BELLY UP for the poor little innocent sea monkey who sadly...never saw it coming! :(
By , at 12/21/2008 04:22:00 PM
seriously!
By ♫Music_L4ver♫, at 12/26/2008 02:25:00 PM
ok hey listen people the seamonkys will be fine as long as u take them out of the watch when u get home anyone who dosnt is just dumb id only leave mine in there 6 to 7 hours tops and there fine
By , at 1/30/2009 08:17:00 AM
OK, for all of you people saying it's cruel it's not if you know how to take care of a sea monkey. It is cruel if you leave it in the locket for a long time, but it will still live if you put it back in its tank when you are done wearing the locket. For example, if you want to wear it to school, then you can but you should take it off as soon as you get home. Then the sea monkey will live. Happy?
By , at 2/11/2009 05:05:00 PM
I love sea-monkeys. It is so fun to just watch them hatch..... so i guess this is alright as long as you don't put more then two sea-monkeys in the locket and take them off after twelve hours....... THEY ARE NOT BRINE SHHHHRRRRIIIMMMMPPPP.... THEY ARE A TYPE OF BRINE SHRIMP. I'M GLAD I MADE MY STATEMENTTTTTTTTTTTTT. THANKS LOL
By , at 4/04/2009 02:06:00 AM
it is kind of crool but bairly just right when your done whearing it put them in the tank they'll be fine trust me! I have 2 panks of sea monkeys they"ll be fine! Easy as pie!!
By , at 4/11/2009 06:25:00 PM

Is the "Friendship" part of the locket with the sea monkeys because if I were a sea monkey I wonud NOT be a friend to someone who stuffs me in a locket.
By , at 4/25/2009 02:13:00 PM
Having a sea monkey is awesomee. Personally I would like to have my sea monkey in a locket or something. If you bring it to school or something it will be around 6hrs. Then you can put it in your tank and watch it with its friends/family. It is not cruel or evil. Well that's my opinion.
Kaylaa. s2. Orgasm.
By , at 5/24/2009 01:03:00 AM
melissa who in'nt a freak is right yeah you can were it and put it back in the tank but think about how us kids run around every day the sea monkeys will be hitting them selves up against the plast every day when ever you move so i dont think thats right its just as bad as the hippy gold fish shoes its wrong
VERY WRONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
By , at 7/16/2009 11:50:00 PM
i think the the person before me ment that on the locket thay will be hiting them self up agains the plastic on the locket which well hurt them and its cruel for them
By , at 7/16/2009 11:55:00 PM
I just got sea monkeys,( brine shrimp) and a watch. I wanted to know how you can help them live. This is not animal cruelty. They die in eighteen hours, so put them in the aquarium after an hour. You can also feed them in the watch, but that is dirtier. DO NOT BUY THE LOCKET. You can if you dont mind animal cruelty, but the things being hit against your chest... Stop complaining anyway animal cruelty people. If you want to do somthing about it, do somthing about it if not, don't sit and complain.

penis enlargement products to enlarge penis size by selling top natural herbal penis enlargement pills that gain 1-3 inches in penis size at www.naturalherbalz.com
By penis enlargement, at 9/06/2009 02:14:00 AM
Permanent Penis Enlargement Pills stimulate development of the erectile chambers internally, allowing for a lot more blood to be held, thus giving a much longer and thicker erection. Male enhancement pills will not only increase the length and thickness of your erections but you'll also experience longer lasting and rock hard erections with most decent enhancement products. This offers you permanent gains in length, girth, stamina and confidence. Most men these days if they are really honest would appreciate help in at least one of these areas; permanent penis enlargement pills will help them all!

To the people who think wearing a sea monkey as jewelery isn't cruel, then you must be pretty ignorant and lack empathy. Just because a sea-monkey is small, and doesn't have a lifespan as long as a dog or cat, and isn't able to communicate as verbally as most household animals doesn't make their life any less valuable. People are sick, since their not able to eat them, instead they try and sell them in little packets as a toy to get money. I'm sure there are people who know how to take care of them properly, but the majority of children who buy them, just like winning goldfish in the fair, just play with them for a while, grow bored, and then they die. In the eyes of so many, a living, procreating creature is nothing more than a toy, and that is really sad to see. Every life, whether it's as primitive as a sea-monkeys may seem, or as important as a human, is EQUAL. People are so arrogant to think that they are more important and that their jugment on what is and what isn't valuable is based on how cute a creature is and how it acts. People need to open there eyes and see how precious every life is, instead of how it benefits you and makes you happy.

By Tristan, at 10/15/2009 08:22:00 PM
lol what kind of idiot says it's against the law to kill animals... there are animals living on your skin right now and each time you touch your face you are killing them. Just die so you can give life to some maggots that will live off your corpse to make you happy.
By , at 11/27/2009 12:49:00 PM
Okay, I agree that this product is dumb, but not half as dumb as those of you who think this is "animal cruelty". I mean, really... get a life.
As for the rest of you... you can't argue with stupid. They're probably just trolls anyway.

By hannagrrl, at 12/15/2009 10:26:00 AM
See this is just incredibly stupid, they are animals! maybe kids should go out, get a life and play instead of carrying a tiny, defenceless animal around their necks. It's true....if that were a tiny dog or kitten surely that would be cruel? and as far as i'm concerneed it is not cool to do this, is it cool to let an animal live in a confined space and then die within twelve hours? even when i was a kid i knew sea monkeys were wrong, adults and kids need to take responibility and forget buying these animals.
By , at 12/20/2009 07:32:00 AM
May as well just put your goldfish round your neck and let it die....http://rarebirdfinds.typepad.com/rare_bird_finds/images/2007/05/30/fish_necklace.jpg

I L-O-V-E sea monkeys. I had a BUBBLE PENDANT necklace when I was in middle school, and I watch when I was in college for fun. There is NO HARM to sea monkeys when you transfer them to the watch, and you just have a "time limit" for when you need to put them back. I never killed a sea monkey. They live for years and years and its not because you put them in a necklace. You just put it back in the tank before 12 hours is up! You People panic over everything.
I'm hatching a new colony of sea monkeys tonight and I'm giving my nephews sea monkeys and watches to put their sea monkeys in for Christmas.
Again, I repeat, the jewelry doesn't kill the animal, leaving the animal in over 12 hours kills it. Wear your sea monkey and you'll all be happy.
