The giant egg shows that Sea-Monkeys look awesome in such an enormous environment. I know companies market to younger ages to start, but fans grow up. Someone should officially produce a significantly larger aquarium (with a built-in air line), aimed at serious adult collectors. Regarding the egg-shaped kit, I'd like it more if it included something like a castle or a cave at the base, for atmosphere. Otherwise, you may as well raise your pets in a large brandy snifter (which I may do, now that I think about it). This channel consistently provides informative, intelligent content in a genuinely enthusiastic (& often humorous) manner, & I look forward to every new upload. Thanks again as always!
I'd love to see you try to turn the big tank into a fully self-sustaining ecosystem (other than heat and maybe oxygen). Seems like it'd be the perfect size for it
Yes they should step these up to a least 0,5 gallon plastic fishbowls. Sure cant be that much to mass produce. I've a 5 gallon culture going, generic eggs + salt. And soon moving them to a 12 gallon big tank. Found more mass of water runs more stable when doing mistakes in feeding. Whole thing "shakes" a little but evens out soon.
Yeah that’s very true about larger tanks having more stable water parameters. I guess this tank must’ve not sold very well though considering they stopped producing it :/ Toy retailers probably prefer smaller products for their shelves too
@@pico-cosmos Maybe the pricing, when it stops being a toy. Then I look at legos and see 200 bucks sets being sold no problem. Subscriber count wouldn't suggest there is no interest in adult size sets.
@pico-cosmos I would love that too. I guess the closest thing we have is the SMESSS, which I do like. There's also that larger rectangular Japanese one from a while ago.
I did NOT expect the "butt plug" joke but I heavily enjoyed how out of left-field it was! Unrelated, but the Arizona science center has a giant ecosphere which is basically a large glass orb! i wonder if you could make something like that and use a custom lid?
I'm curious if you could access ornamental macroalgae in your country like the red branching varieties or large leafy ones likr caulerpa. It'd be interesting to see you experiment with them.
i recently set up a tank around this size, but i used only two packets and brought the salinity up the rest of the way with marine salt. excited to see how it goes! what do you do with all the pipets and scoops you get with all these kits?
Hey, I've been watching your videos with my son, and I recently got him an aqua dragons tank because of you. Anyway I've got a question for you. I live in the U.S. so I can't buy the same stuff on Amazon as Eureopeans, meaning I can't order the aqua dragon food packets directly and would have to order a whole start up kit any time I needed more food. It seems a waste to do it like that. Are there any more sustainable food options like a shrimp feed or something you recommend instead?
I always wonder, watching your video's, why don't you set up a 30 cm cube with a substrate and filter like a salt water aquarium? I would love to see that. The pet sets seem a bit to small and unrealistic to me.
I will make a tutorial on how to make a large DIY brine shrimp aquarium some day! I just really enjoy trying out all of the pet sets, even if they are often quite small 😅
Add finest sand you can find like shrimp safe sand or 0,1 mm grain. Add 40 ppt or 40 grams/liter. Fill half and make a line. Then let it sit outside in the garden or on window sill in direct sun for a 1 month and only top off water till its covered in algae from top to bottom. No heater, no air. Forget it till its green lol. With the boring part out of the way, remove water and fill up as before, now full. I've a 5 gallon culture going this way after many many failed attempts. And probably due watching this channel it finally working. Dont follow this but heres mine: 5 gallon 60 ppt salt. Artemia Parthenogenetica (a s__ reproduction). 79F, PH 8,2 Holestones for algae to grow on. These work mad, they covered in green stuff really fast. Dont realy need to feed the anymore. The adults eat algae and the babies get spirulina powder every friday.
If conditions are good the population will naturally increase with time. The best way to ensure they grow well and reproduce is to feed them live microalgae
How much are these companies really saving with their cheap plastic? A few cents per item? Even shampoo bottles are thicker so I truly don't understand the penny pinching Great vid though!
@pico-cosmos I found it, it's changed to Italian... And won't change back 😂 I switch it to English and it goes straight back to Italian. Weirdly enough it's only this video so far.
"Lastly, we have the butt plug"
I love your sense of humor 😂😂 😂
Lol thought I had to address the elephant in the room
Wake up, Picosmos just uploaded

AMEN! Larger tanks for the older audience wanting to take the hobby to the next level. 👍👍👍
After binge watching all of your videos, I have successfully started a colony in a 1 gallon fish tank.
I love your sense of humor, I was eating and nearly choked when you made the butt plug joke from laughing so hard! Amazing video ❤

I just realized that pico cosmos is such a cool name! Very small, but also infinite, interesting, and undiscovered
Christmas may have passed but this is the best gift of the season. That is massive!

What a great post Christmas Gift!
Excited to see this thing in action.
I’m surprised by how much I liked this one. I still have it sitting on my coffee table 😆 oh how I wish Sea-Monkeys would make an Ocean Zoo this size
@pico-cosmos I would love that too. I guess the closest thing we have is the SMESSS, which I do like. There's also that larger rectangular Japanese one from a while ago.
I love this video! I got my first sea monkey kit for christmas, and I'm hoping to start a successful colony with the help of your videos .
Nice! Which tank did you get?

Hi Picocosmos yes I would be interested in trying the larger egg shaped aquarium.
"wish it had more girth". Gotta respect a man who knows what he likes
Yay new video!
Btw do you ship hats to south africa?
Cheers!
Yup! I ship everything worldwide
Wake up babe, new picocosmos video just dropped
I have a question abt setting up a sea-monkey tank, os it ok if i use a bigger tank with more water...?
That's a giant Egg tank, cool! Plenty of room. Happy New Year 2025 next week.
🥚🎉
If they would make either size "egg" tank with a bit larger opening I think that would be helpful. Otherwise, very cool.
Yeah I had the same thought - that little hole on top could definitely do with being a little bigger
You ever thought about doing a bioscape? Trying to make a larger tank that mimics the natural environment?
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Umbrella Corporation. 🎁🎄
Im seeing a lot of egg puns in these tank names.

what do you do with all the pipets and scoops you get with all these kits?
I wish I had that😢
Nice to know that you like your "tanks" more girthy 😜😅
I've been wanting a tank that's on the bigger side but could never nail down an option. Are there any bigger tanks that the community suggests?

The video I uploaded before this one has 5 examples of alternative foods for them :)
@pico-cosmos thank you❤️
Well, i thought this video was eggstreamly eggselent!

What do i do if there is only 3 baby brine shrimp left in my tank
How do i get the population up

@@pico-cosmos ok thanks
@@pico-cosmos also another question when algae is growing on the sides of the tank can they eat that?
Hi
Are these the same thing as Sea-Monkeys?
Yeah very similar product
😂😂😂
Wait so feeding them egg wasn't a joke?
Nope! The yolk is a surprisingly good food source. Best just to only use one or two drops of it per feeding though - that stuff is potent
Eggcited
Oh no, that automatic synchronization feature from TH-cam sounds awful. 😅
I wanna hear you talk about Aqua Dragons and not some AI 😂

Great vid though!
Okay so I have been trying to watch this but 15 seconds in the language changes.... I have no idea why
TH-cam has a new option to choose which language you want the audio track in. It shouldn’t be changing automatically though.. very odd
@pico-cosmos I found it, it's changed to Italian... And won't change back 😂
I switch it to English and it goes straight back to Italian. Weirdly enough it's only this video so far.
