I was looking for seamonkey for my young sons and spotted thid, brilliant idea I get my new fish without leaving the house and get all the pleasure of watchig my tank from egg to fish, wouthout the bumpy bus rifes, fish inplasic bagd getting shaken anout and you get the pleasure of at least 20 from hatch to full size fish and at 18months of fun without the huge cost of tropical fish and garden centres! Brilliant fun and none of the hassles, wins for me everytimes, 5/5 for fun 5.5 cost and 5/5 for ease and 5/5 for prezzybox genious! Brilliant }ift suiable fo all families

I first purchased these lovely fish back in late august, the instructions are easy to follow. To hatch the fish, aged tap water is needed. Leave the water roughly 24hrs then the fun begins! Place the bag in the water and wait! After a few hours you could have some baby fish :-) At first I only managed to hatch two fish they are now 6 weeks old and doing great! I contacted prezziebox to explain that i had trouble to hatch anymore and they contacted their supplier and I was sent out another set of eggs, and all I can is WOW 12 fish hatched out on the first attempt!!!! Excellent friendly customer service from prezziebox! I would recommend them and of course the fish to all!
