When you put a teabag in to brew you expect to get tea... when you put the magic teabag into brew you get something quite unexpected! Real and beautiful tropical fish.

Magic Fish is an incredible new science kit that will amaze you. The process is simple. You take the little Magic Fish tea bag, place it in water and within 1 hour you have your own live Magic Fish. They're educational and fun for the whole family. Perfect for home or in classroom teacher projects. The Magic Fish you hatch are commonly called killifish or Red-Golden Dragon fish. They are a type of rare and high-grade ornamental fish, which originates from several places around the world.

Magic fish is not only creative and innovate but also is easy to hatch and breed. You just need to put magic fish tea bag into the water and lovely baby fish will be hatched out that day. You can also keep the fish bag in sealed bag & repeat hatching process several times. Every magic fish teabag contains as many as 20 eggs!

Have you ever experienced an unimaginable moment when you see a small baby fish jumps out from its fish roe (fish eggs)? You will feel great gratification when you see these baby fish become gorgeous ornamental fish. You can even breed Magic Fish yourself! Growing these fish from eggs is a wonderful way to cultivate children's love for animals.

How big of a bowl or tank do I need for my Magic Fish?
Depending on how many Magic Fish you are keeping together and how often you want to change some water, you can go as small as a 1 gallon bowl up to a regular fish tank with filter.In a bowl with no filtration you should change a quarter of the water each day so that you don't get a build up of waste.

I am some what sceptical of products such as this, but after reading the reviews on here, decided to go ahead and purchase magic fish as a stocking filler for my Son. Well, we set everything up, as instucted, all followed to the letter...........and a big fat NOTHING! We were hugely disappointed and kept eagerly checking, with our own magnifying glass.......(don't bother with the one included!) trying to spot an egg or indeed any sign of life. All we have ended up with is a puddle of peat floating around after 2 days, and a let down child :(
