Hehe, funnily enough as a child I had both of those at some stage.

I don't know which one was more amusing though.

Alcar...

I had both of thoes.
The Sea monkeys never lasted longer that about 2 generations, and I could never find the right ants!

Hmmmmm, never heard of sea-monkeys.

Wow! You know each individual triop by name like that? I don't think I could tell the difference between each one. I'd get 'em mixed up.

:fuzzle: hehe..

Anyway,
I did not know that Triops were commercialized until now.

In Japan, Triops are called "Kabuto- Ebi"(Kabuto means shell,Eebi means shrimp in Japanese)
Triops live in the paddy fields.
they are hardly seen now .Since fresh water is dirty...

What's up with the giberish?

We used to have sea monkeys when I was a kid ... but I can't remember having an ant farm. I remember watching the sea monkeys grow... but I don't remember whatever happened to them. I guess they died.

Switch your encoding to Japanese (auto-select) and you'll be able to read it perfectly. I'm not sure why atusiya's writing came out like that though, as he didn't post Japanese characters, they are english characters. Must be the forums.

Abe Babe...

Edit: I remembered that most people probably don't have Japanese text support installed on their computers. I do, as I'm always visiting Japanese websites for FF stuff. Here is what he posted:

:fuzblink:I am indebted to you for kindness.... Thank you so much:)

I had both, but was more obsessed with sea monkeys.... i wonder what happened to them.... oh... they're down the sink lol

Good episode of south park.
