I love Triops

Posts Tagged ‘couple’

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

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)

Ok so I got triops a couple of days ago and when I put the sand in my tank it got dirty .

I was going to pick out my best 2 triops and move them to a circular tank about the size of a medium- large jar. I was thinking about putting a couple of plants along with some sand and a rock. Is this a good idea and how would I clean it????????????????????????????

when keeping triops do you have to change there water or anything each week? im getting some soon, in a couple of days. how often do you have to feed them and with sea-monkeys apparentl you haveto pump oxygen into the water do you ahve to do the same with triops ? if youknow any of the answers please tell me.
