Aqua Dragons Starter/Refill, Kit

Product Information

In the wild Aqua Dragons (Artemia Salina) still live in salty lakes, they only eat microscopic algae particles, by foraging and filtering along tiny hair like structures on their legs which they move in a rhythmic mantoray motion as they swim. Despite following the instructions to the letter,a few days afterwards I could only see one little guy moving around… and then there was nothing. Aqua Dragons have been living in the sea and in salty lakes on the earth for millions of years including while dinosaurs roamed the Earth! To create a suitable habitat for your Aqua Dragons, you'll need an aquarium. You can buy various shapes, you can also use a glass or plastic jar. The water should be between 17-30°C and does not need to be changed. Aqua Dragons require a well-balanced diet which we supply in the food sachet.

Aqua Dragons are not actually toys, they are sold in toy shops as a science project for children and adults. Aqua Dragons grow into real creatures so should be taken care of as pets. What do Aqua Dragons look like?If there is food still floating in the water (the water is cloudy) then they don’t need to be fed. If the water looks quite clear and the aqua dragons are looking for food in the sediment formed on the bottom of the tank, then it’s time to feed them. Aqua Dragons are small, shrimp-like creatures that can be found in stagnant bodies of salt water all over the world. They are known for their rapid life cycle, which allows them to mature from eggs to adult in just a few weeks. They can live up to two years in the right conditions.

The balloon was specially designed so that when it reaches space (commonly recognised as 30 Km from the Earth’s surface, which is three times as high up as planes fly), it will burst. The helium in the balloon expanded to cause the balloon to burst. Our flight reached 32.5km high before the balloon burst and you can see the amazing footage from the space cam video! I kept the tank going for a further week just in case they were hiding, aerating the tank every now and then, but alas, our dragons had ceased to be. They were ex-aqua dragons. RIP little buddies. Make sure the temperature remains in the correct zone (17-30 °C) and that the tank gets plenty of natural light. When you feed the Aqua Dragons, don’t use more than one level spoonful of food - and always use the special tiny spoon that comes with your Aqua Dragons kit.

We were sent the Aqua Dragons Deluxe Deep Sea Habitat with LED lights to review.

There were probably more than a dozen, not even a millimetre long. I got stupidly excited, and so did the kids… and then DISASTER. You may be able to see your Aqua Dragons using a magnifying glass in as little as 24 hours, and you should be able to see some with the naked eye within 3-4 days. Here is a short video about what to do to help your Aqua Dragons thrive when they are not doing well, and also how you can get them to hatch again after the life cycle has finished in your tank: We received the Aqua Dragons Deluxe Deep Sea Habitat with LED lights free for the purposes of this review but words and pictures are my own.

They eat, swim, fight, reproduce, lay eggs or they give birth to their babies and much more… They have a lot of different ways of behaving, you can see what they do and what it means in the diagram below: It’s easy to set up as the tank comes assembled. As the kit is suitable for slightly older children (recommended for ages 6+) and my children are pretty rubbish at waiting, we set the kit up on evening when they were in bed.Aqua Dragons are little aquatic creatures also known as brine shrimp or artemia to tropical fish keepers like us. I won’t scar you by letting you know what we do with them but they are labelled ‘live food’. Under optimal conditions - if you care for your Aqua Dragons very well - they can live for a few months. This is their normal life cycle and it is completely normal for them to die within a few months, so when this happens, don’t worry that you have done something wrong. Hatching and growing Aqua Dragons helps children learn important values like caring for a living being, being responsible by remembering to feed and care for them, and treating live animals with respect. The project is also highly educational in terms of science, anatomy, biology, marine biology and even history and geography where our activity and instruction booklet covers all these areas in an enjoyable way. From the moment we started working with these tiny unique creatures, we felt and still feel, that they are one of the all time best toys and pets ever, and have been putting our heart, soul and creative minds into innovating the concept so curious kids and animal lovers everywhere can access a kit and grow their own pets.

However, I contacted Aqua Dragons and they were happy to send me another batch of eggs – so watch this space!
