Triops Problems… Help anyone?
I go away to my dad’s house every 3 weeks for a couple of days sometimes more in hols. But I have triops at home that I have just hatched and they need to be fed twice a day! Help!
I also can’t have anyone round to feed them cause its to much faf.
By the way I am 11.
animals and plants to put into a large closed ecosystem? bottle biology, must be both aquatic and terrestrial?
it would be made up of 10 2Litre coke bottles and maybe a couple of the old mason jars if i can get them. bottles will be connected by pvc pipe to allow animals to go between sections.
must have both aquatic and terrestrial
must have both plants and animals living in each section
current ideas:
Aquatic
use 60% as aquatic
using elodea for oxygen production
using whatever small animals come in the water from the pond as well as to get bacteria?
guppies or maybe a goldfish to create waste for nutrients for plants? (what plants should i use?)
possibly cheat the animal for both sections using small frogs from the pond?
maybe triops or shrimp
snails to eat algae
Terrestrial
what plants should I use?
types of insects?
suggestions?
thanks

My Triops kit didn’t come with food?
It came with 2 packets of eggs in Detritus, the contents said only one packet of eggs and a packet of food. I understand the Detritus will keep the Triops going for the first couple of days, but will I have to buy specific Triops food after this? (I’ve read that you can feed them fish pellets/blood worms etc but I’m assuming this isn’t until they’re a few weeks old XD)
