My niece bought little hatching egg's out of a book order she brought home from school.She put them in water and was really excited but they never hatched so i bought more off amazon. The package came with a tiny hatchery, a tank, adult food and baby food.She was really excited again so i attempted to help her and searched around online.I saw people were saying to use distilled water so i attempted to use distillwater.None hatched once again.My niece gave up and stopped caring about them but i was determined to hatch them so i used spring water and finally one hatched.Sadly it died after 3 days.I ended up trying again and another hatched.The book instructions say to feed at 24 hours however after reading online you actually have to feed after 5 day's.I cleaned the tank daily with a pipe.It became really interesting and my niece became interested in watching it and putting food in the tank.My brother joked it was actually "dust" but it got a reasonable size.it ended up living for two month's and was really interesting and fun to watch. I just bought more eggs :)
