At some point during this time, the Sea-Monkey official site stopped stocking products, according to some reddit threads around the same time. There are articles up until 2016 about the legal battle, so I believe she did exactly that. Naturally, she sued sometime in 2010-2014, and the court resolved that Big Time Toys hadn't really breached contract, aside from not paying her proper royalties, and that she can pursue further legal action later on if she wasn't happy with the court's decision.

They stopped paying Yolanda royalties and told her that they effectively owned the trademark now, so she was no longer necessary. However, Big Time Toys decided that it would be much cheaper to cut the middle man out and just supply their own packets, since brine shrimp, salt and algae are dirt cheap. Yolanda made an agreement with Big Time Toys, the producers of the Sea-Monkey tanks and accessories, that she would continue to supply sea-monkey packets to put in their kits and the rights to use the Sea-Monkey trademark, in exchange for royalties.

Sorry I can't help much more, but I hope this provides some info for you.Essentially, Yolanda von Braunhut, Harold von Braunhut's widow and heir to the Transcience corporation, owns the barn which Harold mixed and packaged all of his Sea-Monkey instant life packets until his death. Are you in the UK or the US, as they can be quite hard to find? You can get sea diamonds, for sea monkeys which are little plastic beads almost, that go into the tank, and are supposed to float as water evaporates, they like the way the light bounces off them, they are supposed to interact with them more as they start to float up the water column, however I have not seem mine do this yet, as the sea diamonds are all over the tank, mainly near the bottom. I don't know about putting fish tank decorations in, but I would make sure that they are non-toxic, and don't have any small holes in them, or anything that tiny sea monkeys could get stuck in. I have the magical castle tank myself at the moment so it has the castle in, which they seem to like and swim around, also provides a good hiding spot.Although you will lose the algae that has developed in the tank, which is good for the sea monkeys, so only do this if you really need to. If you are just moving one set to a new tank, pouring should be fine. I have seen people pour the tanks together, but you would need to make sure that the salinity is the same and both tanks are the same temperature, also make sure that there would be enough space for all of the sea monkeys to live together. The little purple pipette (Aqua Leash) you get with some of the sets is designed to be used to move sea monkeys between tanks, however it has a very small opening so can only really be used for babies, and I do worry that they may get stuck and this could be damaging to them.If you are going to do this, I would suggest hatching the eggs first and waiting for them to get a bit bigger before combining them, to make sure that the babies do not have to compete for space, food or air. I am not sure if combining them will make the tank too crowded. I am fairly new to sea monkeys so not sure if I am 100% correct here, but if you put two lots of sea monkeys in one tank, I believe there will not be enough water and space for them, the 300ml of water and the once a week feeding is designed for the amount of sea monkeys that you would usually get out of the egg packet.
