Our microscope kit came with Brine Shrimp Eggs to hatch and view. Luckily, the research I had done helped us to know what to do with the kit and when we needed to supplement. Ironically, we actually did have a full kit that came with my daughters microscope set, she had just lost the instructions and didn’t know what to do with the pieces.
If you raise brine shrimp, leave us a comment. With some research, I was able to find some information on how to start a Sea-Monkey Colony without a kit. But, I was determined to use what we had, so I dug a little deeper. If you Google how to care for Sea-Monkeys without a kit, most articles will tell you to buy a kit. My teen recently told me she had a batch of Sea-Monkey eggs, but no kit.
