The instructions say to fill the tank with water and the kit comes with a water purifying powder. You put that in and let it sit for 24 hours before pouring the sea monkeys in. They won't hatch for about a day or two anyways.

Sea-Monkey is a brand name of a hybrid of Artemia salina, a species of brine shrimp. These are a type of fairy shrimp—not true shrimp, but a branchiopod.
You might find them in the pet stores. Ask your mom to buy some when you go to the mall.
I do not know if they are compatible with the fishes in your existing aquarium so dont forget to ask the store personel.
They like salty environment and probably warmer water temperature.

After a day. Put them in, wait..just read the instructions that come on the package? They won't work in an actual tank for many reasons, A) you wont be able to see them even when fully grown. B) the other fish will eat them. C) they will get sucked in or battered around by the filter.

A sea monkey is a brine shrimp. You should look up info on them so you don't kill them. They do have a short life span but they have an even shorter one if you are clueless.
You can buy brine shrimp at most any fish store.
