I wanted to know if it will help them survive when they hatch
I bought a triops kit for the first time a week ago and only three hatched. One of them died and the other was subject to cannibalism. I read that they lay eggs every day. If so, when my single triops reaches full maturity, can a place him in a small container for a day or so to lay eggs? I don’t want to go the the wonderful project of getting eggs out of my tank substrate… can’t I just collect a bunch of them in a small container and the dry them out?

How to hatch triops eggs using the floating container method. Good if you already have a heater.

Hello, I currently have a 10 gallon tank with some sand and a few plants. The only inhabitant right now is a mystery snail (my Triops died so hes the only thing left)
I want to get African Dwarf Frogs, but in order to do this, I want to change my substrate from sand to eco-complete (so I can add more plants and theyll stay healthier)
The 10 gallon tank is the only tank I have, so where should I put the snail while I am cleaning the tank? I have small, containers that I can keep him in for the time being, like small glass containers and such.
But for heat, should I just keep a lamp over the container he is in? Or will the intense light harm the snail?

i previously had a triops that layed eggs, so i collected them. i would like to know if i did the correct thing in the next step (this is my question). firstly i dried the triops eggs + sand, then i frozen the sand and eggs in a air tight container for 2 days, then i added the triops to fresh water. i know they still have time to hatch but i was getting worried as all the triops i have had in the past have hatched less than 24 hours later. i can see the triops eggs on the top of the water. they are a light pink colour and a bit larger than the sand
