I know the need for detritus but if the eggs are in sand that were in an aquarium, shouldent the sand contain all the stuff detritus contains?

Please help with hatching triops?
I tried to grow some Triops the other day, I used bottled spring water, and the Triops detritus and eggs that came with the package. I kept the water at about 23 – 24 degrees but after 3 days there is nothing hatched at all? I’m thinking of trying again with water that I’ve retrieved from the river near us, is that a good idea?
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)

Triops Question am I doing this right?
Hi, I got a Triops Hatching Kit and when I opened it I realized 2 bags. One of the bags contained something that looked like parsley (Detritus I believe) and the other contained little balls like fish food. I was not sure which one was the eggs so I put the flakes in there because I read up some stuff on the internet. The detritus is floating which concerned me as I figured it would sink to the bottom. Am I doing this correctly?
How to I feed baby Triops?
Hello, I got some triops eggs off ebay, but there wasn’t any food or detritus or conditioner in the package. The triops have hatched for a day but I have nothing small enough that they can feed on.
Some websites have mentioned yeast but on the same page stated that they shouldn’t be feed until the third day after hatching. When exactly does their yolk supply run out and are able to feed on yeast?

My baby triops are the *size* of frozen brine shrimp, so I highly doubt they can eat them O.o
