Advice on growing triops?

Posted on January 2, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

i have a tank with little triops in, there is about 200 as far as i can tell. there is about 10 LTRS of water and i have been feeding them as often as recommended, the water is green with a layer of scum on the top. I know i need to change the water, but there is no way of me changing the water without getting rid of a load of triops in the process. They are way to small and i would end up throwing a load away. Shall i just leave it? and wait til they are bigger. Also they are about three weeks old and they are still abslutely tiny, they don’t seem to be growing, is this normal? also is it normal for there to be hundreds hatching out? I got them in the pack called “triops world” by interplay and i have only used half the pack of eggs.

My triops digging & laying eggs

Posted on September 22, 2011 by admin| 28 Comments

His name is Fry and he is 20 days old in this video. He is my only triops and he likes to dig because that’s part of the whole egg laying thing. I’m also not sure if it’s a he or a she or a hermaphrodite. I captured the whole thing with my webcam, and it sure was a pain in the ass to manual focus all the time…

It’s more likely than you think. Part 2: www.youtube.com Part 3: www.youtube.com There’s not much to say about this video, really. It’s a ribcage with triops crawling over it and through it and munching away at it.

Triops 1 Week Old Black Beauty Triops from Eggs

Posted on September 19, 2011 by admin| 12 Comments

Triops swimming around in my hatching tank. These are Black Beauty sp. Triops that I hatched from eggs last week. They grow very quickly, the first couple days they were about the size of a few grains of sand! Now the triops are starting to turn a darker color, they were pale-white the first couple days. Black Beauty Triops need a higher temperature then most other species, I keep the water around 82 F. I’m feeding them some shrimp pellets, and also some stale crackers, though you can pretty much feed triops anything organic. For more info on how I hatched them + pics you can visit www.triopsguys.com. Thanks for watching! If you have any questions just leave a comment and I’ll do my best to answer them. Generally they are the same as other species of triops though.
