World Alive Live Astro Pets underwater world

The World Alive Live Astro Pets set is a kit for raising Aqua Dragons, small water-dwelling crustaceans that live in an asteroid-shaped aquarium. The package contains dormant eggs that hatch within days of adding water, and the young animals grow visibly during their first week. Fully grown, they reach up to 2 cm and are easy to look after with the included feeding spoon and food. The set suits children aged 6 and over who want to watch their pets grow, feed and play.

The eggs travelled to the stratosphere, around 40,000 metres up, attached to a meteorological balloon, before landing back on Earth by parachute. A certificate confirms the flight. Care involves regular water changes, adequate oxygen and a bright position away from heat.
