Aqua Dragons ID4001 World, Multicolor, 6 x 1.5 x 6 inches

Bought for our 4 year old. He loved them. Easy to follow instructions and they lasted MONTHS. I was genuinely surprised how long they lasted with minimal effort. Tank did get a little grimy and you can't really clean them out.

I bought these for my partner (40 going on 12) as a bit of fun for christmas after she mentioned that they looked "really cool" after seeing them online.We've had them going eight days now, and I'll be honest I really didn't think we'd get ANYTHING to hatch, as the whole thing sounds very gimmicky. However 2 feeds later and plenty of air pumping we now have what do actually look like cute little water dragons.Our top tips, for successful dragons are (especially for parents...)1. Ignore the instructions, and throw them in the bin (seriously) 😉2. Use fresh bottled water at room tempriture to start with (NOT tap water)3. Pour the whole sachet of dragon eggs into the tank and pop the lid on. Place the tank for the first two days in the living room, or somewhere its not too hot or cold. Not near a window to start with! (LEAVE THEM ALONE)4. After two days we put our hatchlings in our kitchen window, which is slightly cooler than our living room. You could just see them if you looked really carefully.5. Supervise your kids, if you overfeed or try and rush the hatching process, it will fail like so many other people have said. Have patience.6. IMPORTANT... Five to six pumps of air at a regular times per day to air the water with the pipette provided.7. Hopefully on day 8, like us you'll be able to see little dragons develop, you will see they have now formed dragon like tails!!!Regarding food, we didn't even feed the hatchlings until three days after hatching, and only used a level spoon of the food (with the spoon provided) it totally covered the top of the water. You don't really need to feed them again until all of that has dissappeared after two or so days.Hopefully that little guide will help with parents and kids frustrations at nothing happening 😉All in all value for money, a great novalty present that has everything you need to grow water dragons.The tank doesn't leak, for what you should use, the food should last week's, and by day eight you'll lose count of how many of these fascinating little creatures there are.Would recommend and would definately buy again for someone as a novalty present. Parental supervision definately required and lots of patience.

I luckily had put no creatures in there, yet... . But when my Aqua Dragons aquarium fell about 60cm onto a stone floor, it broke down. Also, water can easily run out of it with a lid like that. The colour of the aquarium is lovely. I would still recommend getting a small glass tank or a plastic tank designed as a small animal carrier. This aquarium can get knocked over too easy, I am afraid. When I added a thermometer to my original aquarium, it also tore away the layout with the nice Aqua Dragons design that is not printed onto the aquarium itself but more for marketing reasons and part of the packaging. What's more, it does not reveal what is inside the eggs sachet and the nutrition sachet as of detailed nutritional ingredients used. I would like to give 3.5 stars, also because the set is containing everything needed but a decent aquarium... . Rounding up to 4 stars because I love watching sea creatures and the product is better advertised than Sea Monkeys. Before you buy them, these are LIVING animals. If you go on holidays, get a pet sitter. Don't discriminate against those creatures simply because they are made of less cells than a human being, and certainly don't let them drown in a toilet bowl alive. Thank you! These animals are not a toy but make a nice science project that may keep you busy for many, many months, if you keep on feeding them and raise new generations, you can make this a hobby.

Having previously bought Sea Monkeys (see my review of them), I bought Aqua Dragons. As far as I can discover, they are the same creature with a different brand name. The ADs come in an impressive colourful pack which would be great for a gift. They come with tank, eggs, pipette for adding oxygen to the tank, spoon and food, plus a more comprehensive instruction leaflet than the one that came with the SMs. They also have a website and an email address given so you can contact them for info and help. I set up exactly as instructed and within less than a day I could see tiny white dots moving in the tank - the AD babies. Two days after set up I could see 30 plus - hard to see and hard to count! It's now four days after set up and there are dozens filling the tank!I am a 60+ year old grandma and decided to get ADs as my four year old grandson had some for Christmas and I was fascinated by them. His did well for a while, with one getting big - about 1cm long - and then developing dark egg sacs on her body which resulted in lots of babies. A few others started to get big too, and mate with each other. But one day - about 6 weeks are setting up the tank - and for no apparent reason, they were all gone. They must've died but we couldn't see any bodies. So these ADs could be the sort of 'pet' that leads to more upset and disappointment for small children than you might think. However, I am pleased with mine so far!

The media could not be loaded. Tii was bought for my 8 year old for his birthday.We set it up on Sunday and after patiently waiting by day 3 I could see at least 4 of them! Today I can't count them, there's that many. They're teeny tiny and quite hard to see at first.We waited two days to feed them and now they're all swimming around. My tip would be to be very patient, leave them alone we've kept them somewhere sunny. Looking forward to watching them grow!

Done everything it said to do and I habe a very disappointed little girl the eggs didn’t hatch….. total waste of money
