Sackrat yes they are real. I'm on about those little things you saw on comic books when you were a kid. You can't eat them. So if you want to have sea monkeys again just go to a aquarium/pet store and see if the have the brine shrimp eggs. I use to breed my own for my salt and some fresh water aquarium fish i had. I had tank especially set up for hatching the brine shrimp in. Looked good when there were nearly 10,000+ swimming around in the tank.

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.
