My Aqua Dragons.



Official site: www.brainstormltd.co.uk/aqua_dragons.htm

I was sent some aqua dragons to try out on the 7th of March 2013 and it came in a package. The eggs and food were in small packages and in the package was a small tank, food, eggs, a aerator (pippette), a small spoon and some instructions! I was sooo excited when it came because I was really looking forward to having pets of my own. My friend had some sea monkeys (they are the same as aqua dragons but produced by a different company) and I wanted some.

When I opened it I put bottled water in the tank and put the eggs in. The next day some of them had hatched so I decided to give them some food. Then three days later I gave them some more food and I used the aerator to the blow some air bubbles in the tank (oxygenating it). 4 days later I did the same and then I did the same 4 days after that.


I feed them every 3-4 days but I got confused because on the instructions it said feed them every 2-3 days and on the food package it said feed them every 4-5 days. I have a question, if you go on holiday and you can’t take them with you, will they die of hunger? So far some of the aqua dragons are ok but lots of them haven’t hatched yet and I don’t know why L. So far I can only count 7!

When they first hatched I found myself sitting, watching the little creatures swim around for ages. I had to use a micoscope but it's not very good! (I think they should provide a microscope with it). But now I don’t look at them as often as I used to.


After  3 weeks they have grown to the 4th or 5th stage in the aqua dragon cycle. (The instructions is really cool because it shows you the aqua dragon life cycle and the tank is colourful and cute because it has colourful aqua dragons on it and it’s like a coral reef!)


I Got It Rating: 8/10 because you get to feed them and watch them swim (they are fasinating to watch) but I think the instructions weren't very clear.

You can buy aqua dragons from amazon for around £11 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Aqua-Dragons-W4001-Underwater-World/dp/B009HOOLDW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1364337748&sr=8-1 and from ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Amazing-AQUA-DRAGONS-GROWING-KIT-Underwater-World-/350736266756?pt=UK_Toys_Creative_Educational_RL&hash=item51a982b604.

Disclosure:We were sent these aqua dragons free of charge to try and review. All my opinions are honest.

UPDATE: Following my review, I have been told that the instructions will be corrected and my eggs might still hatch due to the coldness of the water.

  2. Sea monkeys and aqua dragons are actually very different creatures and very different in size. Good work raising them though :)
