Who in their Right Minds Would Think of Fish Food as Pets?
None other than the guy who invented X-Ray glasses! A man by the name of Harold von Braunhut. This man saw a great, instant pet that could teach children around the world the oddities of nature. Harold decided to market sea monkeys in 1957. Originally the sea monkeys didn’t sell at all. It wasn’t that no one was buying them, it was that no one wanted to sell them! So Harold got the idea to place an ad for ‘instant life’ inside comic magazines. Before you knew it, the sea monkey orders were flying in. The sea monkeys at the time were just raised in a jar of sorts. The pet needed a container that could easily show off the energetic creatures. Hence the invention of the Micro-View Ocean Zoo – a perfect habitat for the sea monkeys. What Can Sea Monkeys Do besides Swim Around? Well, nothing much really. But their instincts can be used for some fun. Harold found that the sea monkeys naturally swam up-current. That means, if you introduce moving water to them, they naturally swim against it.
