Sea-Monkeys should begin hatching right away and depending on a whole lot of variables can take up to 3 weeks for them all to hatch. If you find they are slow to hatch or something strange has occurred, try moving the tank (if not already) to a warmer or another position where they receive good natural sunlight. In colder environments Sea-Monkeys can take longer for them all to hatch and grow, and the ideal hatching temperature is between 24 and 27 degrees Celsius (75-to-80-degree Fahrenheit) which is well noted in the instructions.

All Sea-Monkey eggs vary in shell thickness. Those with thinner shells begin hatching immediately and those with thicker shells take longer. This is nature's way. Different types of water, different temperatures and different light sources will also affect the hatching rate. They are so small when they first hatch, they are difficult to see with the naked eye. A good idea is to shine an LED light into the side of the tank and look very hard. The light will reflect off the tiny white specks (no bigger than the period at the end of this sentence) twitching through the water as they spread their fins and learn to swim. A magnifying glass will also assist you in spotting them when they are freshly hatched and extremely small. Keep checking daily looking closely. Your Sea-Monkey pets may continue to hatch over a three-week period as they wiggle their way through their shell casings.
