Confused [*-)] How long can a sea monkey survive out of water?
Reply Quote
I read on another forum that someone put a sea monkey in a bottle of water that was then drunk. one suggestion was to check the bottle to see if the sea monkey manged to escape, which is a good suggestion but i just don;t think a sea monkey could last very long with no water. does anyone know how long they can survive without water?

Well, I had spilled a little tank water and there was a Sea Monkey in it. I got him back within a minute, but he didn't make it. He either died from a lack of water, or I may have crushed him as I scooped him up. So I'd guess a minute or two.

Well they can survive out of water for only a few seconds i guess. But after they die, let them completely dry out under a light and then put them back in and they'll come back from the dead. If you want to go through all that trouble.... (It really works, i've done it before)

Y/W I never tried it with just one seamonkey but I've done it with my entire tank when they all died. I let all of the water evaporate and the monkies dry out. Then I add more cool water and they live again! (Not ALL of them come back, but a good amount)

Were they the same sea monkeys or newly hatched ones? they may have been from dormant eggs.

I had them for about a month and they were grown-ups when they came back 2 life. It even says that they can come back to life on the packet it comes with.

Um well I think the packet is actually referring to the fact that any remaining eggs will come to life if you add water after drying out the tank.

However in the wild (of course this is brine shrimp not Sea-monkeys) they have adapted to their environment and that environment periodically dries up. I'm not sure the adults come back to life but certainly their eggs do even after long periods of dryness.

But just out of curiousity (because if what you're suggesting REALLY does work actually, I will be so excited) I'm putting a single sea-monkey (a dead one) in a little bottle cap and I'm going to dry him up and put him into the water later. I'll let you guys know if he's the one to come back to life.

Don't worry I'm just testing... not challenging you or anything. Sorry, this would be awesome if possible though.

Hi you guys... um I'm afraid you must be misinformed... the Sea-Monkey revival thing was a total failure. The sea-monkey dried out and I put in some bottled water... when he 'resoaked' his tail came off and his limbs drastically swelled up. There was no sign of life and if anything it just made him look mutilated.

While it's a very cool idea I'm afraid that the way the Sea-Monkey corpse reacted to the re-introduction of water really only supports the opposite.

They must have been dormant eggs then . :/ But my sea-monkeys never got too big so I guess I could've mistaken them 4 grown-ups........
