Aqua Dragons Deluxe Underwater World | Unboxing & Review!

The babies swim towards the light because they just came out of it, and knowing what the world will offer, they just want to go back as quickly as they came.

Why am I addicted to this??

My theory is that when they just hatch, there are so small that gravity does not affect them so much so they could not tell which side it up while light always comes from the sky in the nature, being attracted to light helps them to reach the oxygen and algae rich surface and have a better chance of survival.

3:31 I do like the mention of sustainability and recycling, talking about reusing the tank, and even recycling the tank. I was already impressed with the entirely cardboard packaging. As someone for whom Bin Day and managing household recycling, could also be called Hell On Earth That Consumes Full Time Hours During Daylight And The Dark Time, being able to just chuck two pieces of corrugated card in the card bag is a pleasant relief

This was my first Birne Shrimp Aquarium. I removed this Plastik too. Now i have this one, and 2 Sea Monkeys Tanks. I love them all. And John i love your videos. ❤

when my sea monkeys are babies, I usually use a tooth pick to "scoop" some food out very early, I think it's usually the perfect amount for small babies! (learned this trick from a tadpole shrimp kit 😂)

OMFG I WAS HOPING FOR THIS VIDEO!!! I’ve had my dragons for a few weeks now and I’ve been bursting at the seams ever since they hatched! ❤

The "baby" Aqua Dragons are actually teenagers when they swim to the rave-style lights.

Yeah flat "panel" shaped tanks are probably Best for artemia but i kind of Also really love the bottle dome ones like the sea monkeys mars 😆 Even tho they are less effective

New tank video! Love the calming vibes of your videos, and the macro algae growth is so pleasing too. The sea monkeys probably don't care, but it makes the tank feel nicer than if it were just empty. (The ultimate marketing strategy would be putting both children and 30 year old bearded men on the box, imo)

You had the same criticism I do with the Aqua Dragons lights: I wish they were USB powered. I have the Aqua Dragons In Space Live Astro Pets Deluxe kit and it appears the same type of four blue lights are in the bottom. Changing the batteries is a bit nerve-wracking because I worry that I'll drop the tank or tip it too far and spill some water out. It's an orb on a base meant to look like an "asteroid" so it's probably a bit easier than changing them in this Aqua Dragons Deluxe Underwater World tank. Thanks for another excellent review, and showing your "tinkering" with the tank (taking the wrap off and "fixing" the lid).

I imagine the baby swims towards the light as their main source of food is algae which rely on photosynthesis for survival. So the algae will be thriving near the light so shrimp head their to find food.

I am so glad to see that the tank art is actually a wrap! Been eyeing this line of kits for a while and that's what was holding me back from purchasing. Great review as always.

Would be great if they had kits for various freshwater vernal shrimp.

You keep releasing these at the perfect time for me to watch as the last 2 have both come out when I already happened to be scrolling through youtube

The algae growth is amazing

Oh hey, I picked up one of these not long ago - one of the ones without a light, sadly. I've just had the first hatch and the numbers are INSANE - I get why they do it, but it's a bit much... Also, thanks for showing the second lid. Honestly didn't even expect it :0

Your wonder-filled face on the reimagined box art is hilarious! On the subject of marketing towards adult enthusiasts, the Executive Set is the only item I'm aware of aimed at "grown up" collectors (high powered businessmen, it seems, based on the catalog description). It had a black base & cover, with shiny gold accents, but is otherwise the basic ocean zoo design. They were impossible to track down when brand new (at least for me, in the pre-internet age). Today, they command prohibitively high prices when they turn up at auction, which is very seldom. I still haven't found one, & I'm at peace with that for now, ha ha. There seems to be more than one version, too, but the differences aren't especially drastic. I just wondered if you had heard of this set before? I feel like it was the company's lone stab at reaching out to older Sea-Monkey fans, & it didn't initially sell well enough to warrant any further similar products.

I really appreciate the fact that he is the reason I got into taking care of sea-monkeys! I have a "Neon Ocean Zoo" tank, a DIY tank I made myself, and an "Ocean Volcano" coming in the mail! I also have two packs of the "Instant Life" kits in my ✨ Sea-Monkey Drawer ✨ with both variants of the instructions, and 3 packets of ✨ Sea-Monkey Growth Food ✨. Thank you so much for getting me into such an amazing hobby!❤

I really like the aquarium too but I also wish it was usb powered so you wouldn't have to worry about batteries. 😎👍💯
