This kit came with the pint-sized aquarium*, the 3 necessary packets (water purifier, sea monkey instant life, growth food), and the measuring/feeding spoon. These are all the things necessary for the "beginnings-of" your friendship with sea monkeys.
The one-and-only extra I believe to be necessary but could be considered a maintenance item is the "aqua-leash."
The extras (not necessary for the care of a beautiful sea monkey friendship, but very nice to have): a magnifying "portal" for viewing friends grow (¡as well as an excellent tool for the over 40 crowd/grannies/gampies grab-it-to-go in order to read the parts and supplies order form!); 3.5" x 4.5" pamphlet, "My First Pet Book" geared for the younger set--("8 pages of puzzles and activities with 11 pages to color," 10 pages of general pet ownership care, and 5.5 pages about sea monkeys); 2.5" x 2.5" plastic container in which to store the opened (and hopefully folded-inorder-to-enclose-the-opened-packets-of-valuable-food) pouches and spoon/s; and finally, a cute, orange, plastic sea monkey figurine for the youth to play with outside the aquarium and/or sea monkey collection collector (soon-to-be-ebay auctioneer).
* I guess this item is debatable since one could use a glass jar or vase in which to birth one's sea monkey critters.
Nota bene: this kit does NOT come with the "Sea Medic" sea monkey medicine which is necessary for maintaining a beautiful friendship. Without the "Sea Medic" you will have a, "We'll-always-have-Paris" kind of relationship with your sea monkeys. As a sea monkey convert, I would urge you to purchase the medicine and if your budget allows, the "Million-Bubble" air pump might save you an accidental spillage of tsunami proportions on your kitchen floor. These can be ordered from the tried-and-true however mysterious Transcience Corporation in Maryland, USA. (Written July 21, 2013)
Also, my measurements are approximate.
