I just got triop eggs and was going to hatch then my brother says you need a office lamp that points down is this true. Im going to use a heater for heat so I only need the light to hatch them and the light I have is very bright.

is there anything similar to triops?
see my brother got some triops for his birthday and they are really cool and i was just wondering if there is some kind of pet kinda similar to that. like i know that there is those sea monkeys but i dont like those they look ugly so if there is anything u can think of that would be great.
Nice pet presents for a 12 year old?
I have a grow-a-frog, and have had triops, and my 11 year old brother is turning 12 this year. I would like to get him some sort of pet to keep him off his games for maybe 5 minutes each day.. LOL (he is obsessed with games.) Anyway, what kind of pet would you reccomend that would give him something to do? Thanks 
Yes, i will watch it too.
What types of fish can I put in a 5 gallon tank?
Alright. I have a nicely set-up 5 gallon tank, and I can put as many plants and decorations in itas possible. We are pretty good at keeping fish. I breed snails and have even gotten to the point where I am breeding for color in mystery snails (albino, red, and black). My brother used to raise Gar, African Clown Knife, Red-Tailed Cats,and things like that but now raises different types of Puffers, Lion Fish, Clown Fish, and other salt-water fish. I breed Triops (which is SUPER easy). And I have my Beta who is around 5 years old; so, fish around here are pretty much spoiled too as if they were apart of the family. Then there is the Dragon Goby we have who is a weird little guy and our star gazer and lion goldfish.
So, back to the big question! I have a 5 gallon aqurium with a very good bubbler and filter. The temp of the water is usually around 65*F-72*F (I believe that they should recieve nightcycles where the lights are off and the temp drops down a little). Most of the time, my room is around 70*F with the night being 65*F. I can put as many or as less plants/decorations as my heart (or the fishy’s) hearts desire. I would like more than 2 fish in the tank- but I just want something that looks nice.

Good presents for my younger brother?
My brother’s eight, has no responsibility, likes to play, and likes video games, but he is fascinated by animals. I saw these things, like “Sea Monkeys”, but they’re called “Triops (longicaudatus)”. They are like a type of shrimp that you hatch and feed, and they don’t require much care at all. I think he would really enjoy this, but I was wondering if it is a good idea? And I did think of a ant farm, but our parents would kill us if they got out.
Here is a link to the product I want to buy: http://www.discoverthis.com/triopsdlx.html
It also has all 5- star reviews, and good comments.
