"Sea Monkeys", as a kid growing up in the 60's, every comic book had on it's last pages adverts for Sea Monkeys, next to the Ad for a live baby Alligator mailed anywhere in the lower 48, I later discovered my childhood Toys that seemed to only live a few weeks no matter what I did, was supposed to do that and they also made Excellent live food for many of my fish.
I've been looking for something to take up my love for the natural world that's an easier hobby with equipment, money and not taking up All my time (once had 20 large aquariums, fresh & salt, love the water but too much for a minded perfectionist that's naturally not, now it really is too much), I've discovered these primitive types of desert arthropods, often called Shrimps, they're not but are interesting, there's apparently several species that usually last only a month or two till desiccation is needed for egg maturation. Sounds like fun that controllable.
