I love Triops

Posts Tagged ‘eggs’

i baught some triops 3 days ago and i put the eggs in the tank 1 day ago

So I got this kit for triops and after 3 days 1 triop looking thing did hatch. But then 2 of the little twitchy bug things hatched 4 days after I put the eggs in, still no more of the triops, then now on the 5th day a TON of these little twitchbugs were swimming around, and im amost positive its not triops because i looked at them under a microscope and they look like a see through bug. what are these? and are any more triops going to hatch?

Can anyone show me a picture of the eggs of a triops and video of hatching triops?

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)

I have one triop and he/she was digging underneath a sea shell I had in the tank and now i dont see it, what could of happened?
