Sea monkeys became popular because of their small size and were marketed as the perfect pet for people unable to keep a dog or other larger pets. Buying the sea monkeys and other supplies separately. This could be a more inexpensive option if you have an aquarium or a tank already. However, this could be a more expensive option if you don’t. Ultimately, buying everything separately instead of in a kit allows you to customize your sea monkeys' environment.Finally, after years of cross-breeding, we developed a hybrid. These amazing new hybrids grow larger and live longer than any "natural" variety of brine shrimp. Brine shrimp kept as a sea monkey, however, can actually live much longer. As pets, they can live for up to a year. Some have claimed that they have kept their pet sea monkeys alive for five years. Fully grown brine shrimp only grow up to half an inch long. Some sea monkey customers claim theirs have grown up to an inch, but this is incredibly rare. Once fully grown, they also develop a tail that remotely resembles those of monkeys, hence their marketed name. a b c d e Walsh, Tim (2005). "Ant Farm and Sea-Monkeys".

Artemia usually has a lifespan of two to three months. Under ideal home conditions, pet sea monkeys have been observed to live for up to five years. As they are easy to breed and care for, brine shrimp are also often used as a model organism in scientific research to study developmental biology, genetics, and toxicology.
