Setting up
Naboo Sea Creatures Habitat
VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT SET UP
HABITAT WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION!
These are what you received:
• Naboo habitat (tank, lid, base)
• One stick-on thermometer
• One pack of Naboo Sea Creature eggs
• One pack of Naboo Sea Creature food
• One plastic stirrer
• Learning guide and manual
These are what you need to provide:
• One gallon bottle of spring water
(available at your local food market)
• Sheet of paper
• Pair of scissors
• Disposable cups
1. Rinse all plastic parts in spring water.
NEVER USE TAP WATER OR SOAP, as it is
harmful to Naboo Sea Creatures. Dry o
the outside of the tank.
2. Peel o the paper backing from the
thermometer and adhere it to the lower
right front of the dry tank, making sure it
is clear of the product base.
3. Replace sea oor plate in tank and push
down to rmly secure to tank.
4. Place the habitat on a sturdy table or shelf,
where it won’t be accidentally bumped or
disturbed. Do not place on a surface
where accidental spillage of water may
cause damage. Do not place it in direct
sunlight or near a heating or air conditioning vent. Once it is lled with water, it
should not be moved. Never use insecticide, cleaning solvents, deodorizer, paint
or other chemicals near the habitat.
5. Pour in room-temperature spring water to
about one inch from the rim. Do not use
water conditioner. Water temperature
should be 72˚ to 80˚ F (22˚ to 31˚ C). If
necessary, place an incandescent desk
lamp (60 watts) about ten inches from the
top in order to raise the water temperature
and to provide light. It is very important
that the water be between 72˚ and 80˚F.
6. Open the pack of eggs. Do this over a
piece of paper in case any eggs spill out.
Be careful – they’re tiny! Pour one-half of
the eggs into the water. Do not touch the
eggs. Save the other half of the eggs for
another time.
7. Stir the water with the plastic stirrer. The
water might get a little cloudy, but it will
clear up.
8. You can add a little more spring water to
wash down any eggs and debris which
have clung to the sides of the habitat.
9. Replace the lid onto the tank.
10. WASH YOUR HANDS THOROUGHLY WITH
SOAP AND WARM WATER.
11. In 7 to 10 days, you will begin to see baby
Naboo Sea Creatures. They appear as
orange-white dots. If no eggs have
hatched after three days, check the water
temperature and add the other eggs.
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 rst 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 t in their tiny mouths. Take one
green and one brown food pellet, crush
into a ne 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
sh, 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!
