How many instant pets are there?

I’ve heard of Triops, Aqua-Aliens, Seamonkeys, and Merbirds. Are there any other instant pets that use suspended animation? Or any instant pets that don’r use suspended animation? Also, are Merbirds and Seamonkeys they same?
And don’t say that these are all brine shrimp like the dummy who put the first answer, because if u look them up, they aren’t all the same
edit- you are still a dummy because they are different animals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sea monkeys are brine shrimp, you can’t classify different animals with the same name.

Where can I get Triops in Arizona (Tempe)?

I herd that Triops are better than Seamonkeys. So I wanted to get some.
But Can you answer these questions:
Where can I get them (if possible , a local store?)
Can I touch them?
Do they bite?
How big can they get/How big do they usually get?
How much do they sell for?
Is there certain food I need to buy to feed them?
Will they fight?
How long do they last?

And if you have List your experiences with Triops

Triops SeaMonkeys

We obtained this Triops & SeaMonkeys kit over Christmas vacation 2008. The temperature at our house is around 66F, so we set up a water bath using a small aquarium and a small aquarium heater. We used R/O-DI water of conductivity 0. Temps in the tank are around 78-84F. Sea Monkeys hatched in about 48hours, Triops hatched in 24hrs.
