My triops didnt hatch and its been about 3 weeks probably more anyway I want to start again all the water has evaporated and the eggs and detritus have dried out so can I just add water again or do I have to use a new batch? I heard my chances will increase if i do this is it true?
Hello, I’ve tried hatching a batch of triops eggs and used only distilled water, plenty of light and controlled temperature. 6 days have passed with no hatching so I’m assuming something went wrong. I read on some websites that very often Triops kits come with dry organic matter (usually leaves) that are supposed to provide baby triops with nutrition for the first few days. My kit did not supply this, so I used plain dry leaves from my garden. Didn’t work. Neither did my tank where I put fairy shrimp eggs (for triops food) and the exact same conditions as the triops hatching tank.
I started another tank for fairy shrimp eggs using only water and no dried leaves. Temperature, light and water quality were all highly controlled. Still no hatching after 4 days.
Where have I screwed up? Is it possible for ALL the eggs in my kit to be dead?
