Today, it was confirmed that the "no pet rule" in my apartment complex is so strict that I'm not even allowed to have sea monkeys. FML

It only takes like 5 seconds on Google to find out. On here you're just going to be ignored.

5 replies and 4 of them aren't even attempting to answer the question? I will never understand people... Sea Monkeys are brine shrimp. They start off too small to see, and after a few days (I think 4-6, maybe a little longer) they start to look like little fish. I understand that if you can keep them alive, they grow to be about 3/4 inch long, and start reproducing at about 4 weeks. Starter "tanks" typically hold less than 1 1/2 cups of water, so OP not being able to keep them as pets seems ridiculous.

They're these teeny tiny shrimp things you grow in the water.

Very much appreciation to 65 and 88! I'd much rather ask the lovely FML family then google. (:

Well, you can't really blame the guy, those things are off the hook animals.

I guess rules are rules...though in terms of possible damage to the apartment or keeping up neighbours with pet noise, I really don't see the difference between seamonkeys and an empty tank of water...

Clearly you aren't teaching your seamonkeys the right kinds of tricks

If the tank was to break, it would probably cause some pretty extensive damage. The chances of that happening don't seem too incredibly likely, so it really is silly.

I've never owned a pet, it's quite depressing... Does a daisy count?

Never had a pet? You should get a Betta fish. They're pretty low maintenance. They have such cute personalities and don't need air bubble gizmos because they breathe from the air. Only one male per tank though or they'll kill each other. When I had one, it would light up my day because it would swim-dance happily towards me when I came in the room. Heh, males. They'll do their little tricks just to get fed. They're all the same.

I don't see why not. You have to water it, "feed" it light annndd it brings joy every time you see it..also has the added benefit of naturally smelling good; something most animals don't.

Oh ferret aroma is the best. ;) Yea, depending on critter, smell can be a downfall. Still worth it though, IMO. My favorite low maintenance pet is a leopard gecko. The crickets were a pain but cleaning the fish tank for my aquatic pets was too.

So much for freedom...my apartment complex won't even let me hang an American flag!

Dude... Sea monkeys get crazy. Of course you're not allowed to have a bowl of those mofos in your apartment! They'd obviously wreak all kinds of havoc.
