Luisillo the scientist is attempting to create life in his kitchen laboratory for $25. He purchased an "Aquatic Dragons" kit online, which includes a fish tank with a LED light, eggs, food, a magnifying glass, and a certificate promising to care for the aquatic dragons. The kit supposedly contains eggs of the species Artemia Salina, a type of crustacean that has existed since prehistoric times. Luisillo follows the instructions, adding water and eggs to the tank, and waiting for the eggs to hatch. After four days, he observes tiny life forms in the tank and uses a digital microscope to analyze one of the creatures. He names it Jeffrey and continues to care for the aquatic dragons, promising to update his audience on their progress in a future video.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The product used in the experiment is called "Aquatic Dragons" and costs $25.
2. The product claims to allow users to create life in their kitchens.
3. The Aquatic Dragons are actually a species of crustacean called Artemia Salina.
4. Artemia Salina has been existing on the planet for many years, including prehistoric times.
5. The product includes a fish tank with a LED light, eggs, food, a magnifying glass, and a syringe dispenser.
6. The eggs are very small and resemble salt or sugar.
7. The water used in the experiment must be bottled or purified, and not from the faucet or sea.
8. The temperature of the water should be between 17°C and 30°C.
9. The eggs will begin to double in size within a few hours and will hatch within two days.
10. The newly hatched creatures will need to be fed with a small amount of food, and excess food can cause them to die of morbid obesity.
11. Oxygenation of the water is important for the creatures' survival.
12. If properly cared for, the creatures can grow up to 1.5 cm in size and live for up to 6 months, and even mate and produce new eggs.
13. The experiment was successful, and the creatures were visible under a digital microscope after four days.
14. The creatures have a tail and a body, and are identified as Artemia Salina.
