Has Anyone Ever Had Triops?

It says in the instructions that I have to use spring water to raise these things. I have a spring near my house and I was wondering if that water would be ok to use.
And for anyone who is curious as to what Triops are here is a video I found. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2Do30X9vdA

Are triops natural creatures found in the wild?

I’m thinking they aren’t considering they need 24/7 lighting and I had them one time, they got to about half an inch and someone turned the light off for the night. xD Yes they were all dead. No where on earth has 24/7 lighting so I don’t think they are natural creatures…Does anyone know?

Can anyone suggest an unusual pet?

Unusual things like Triops and Sea Monkeys are fasinating, but is there any other creatures I could rear?
I should have added, ideally something that can be raised in water.,

Theres this organism I see in a dirty fish tank what is it?

I used to have a fish tank that’s really dirty, like for months. The fishes were all gold fishes if i remembered it correctly. When i took a look in the fish tank, i see this little moving thing that looks/shapes like a triops cancriformis in the pile of poops. Anyone knows what it is? I’ve been wondering what it was for years.
The only living things in there are a few gold fishes, what else can sprout out of that fish tank?
