I love Triops

Posts Tagged ‘egg’

i wanted to see if i can see any eggs on my triops but not sure where the egg sac is, and is it possible to see them lay

My son got a triop kit and the directions dont explain whether the debris with the eggs should be seperated. On the other hand I dont see how it is possible to seperate because I wouldn’t know what the egg looks like. The eggs hatched but the debris is floating around the little clear tank.

I put sand in the tank and they dug but they still have their egg sacks.

Hi there. I have bought a Triops kit from a local toy store and set it up with distilled water and the egg-detritus mixture sachet. They have hatched after 2 days and I can see tiny white Triop babies wizzing around the tank. I have the following questions;

- When can I add the sand to the Triop container?
- When will they breed? How can I get a ‘2nd generation’?

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

ok well, my triops died an hour ago, i think from suffering from a disease… i remember reading something about keeping the triops in water until the eggs comes out of the egg sac?? mine are only 2 weeks old so im not realy sure about that… anywho, there dead now, so what do i do with them?
