Care and feeding of your
Naboo Sea Creatures
IMPORTANT: READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY.
• Every day, check to see that the water
temperature is 72˚ to 80˚ F (22˚ to 31˚ C).
Adjust the lamp if necessary.
• For the first three days the baby Naboo
Sea Creatures will feed on nutrients
supplied in the egg pack, so you don’t
have to add any more food.
• On the fourth day it’s time to start feeding.
Because the baby Naboo Sea Creatures are
so small, their food must be crushed in
order to fit in their tiny mouths. Take one
green and one brown food pellet, crush
into a fine powder using a metal spoon,
and drop the powder into an air hole. Feed
every two days. If they eat their food
completely, feed them every day. Do not
give them too much food though, as this
will decay and spoil the water.
• Your Naboo Sea Creatures will grow
rapidly. Continue to crush their food until
they reach a size of one inch long.
Thereafter, drop in one whole food pellet
for each creature, but not more than eight
pellets at a time. If they eat all the pellets in
a few hours, you can give them another
feeding in the evening. Make sure that
they get both green and brown pellets.
• For variety, you may substitute the food
pellets with very tiny bits of carrot, raw
fish, freeze dried worms, or brine shrimp.
But remember, don’t overfeed them!
Keeping the water clean
Beginning on the eighth day, clean the water
every two or three days. This will help to
prevent build-up of germs and keep the
water clear. Here is how to clean the water:
1. Using a disposable cup, remove about
one-half of the water from the habitat
and pour it into the toilet. Be extra careful
not to scoop up any Naboo Sea Creatures!
2. Gently pour in room-temperature bottled
spring water to about one inch from the
rim. Never use tap water!
3. WASH YOUR HANDS THOROUGHLY WITH
SOAP AND WARM WATER.
4. Always have enough bottled spring water
and disposable cups on hand for these
regular water changes.
Important: Always wash your hands
thoroughly after touching the water in the
habitat – it could contain harmful germs.
Never drink the water!
