How to Hatch Triops / Fairy Shrimp prt 2

Posted on November 21, 2011 by admin| 32 Comments

Part one of a short how to video on hatching Triops / Fairy Shrimp eggs. How to Hatch Triops / Fairy Shrimp prt 1 www.youtube.com

these little critters hatched about 2 weeks ago in water i was about to throw out as was stagnant and not looking like any of the triops were going to hatch, but wow these guys are really growing fast and so far…. fingers crossedf theres not been any losses through canabalistic behaviour as they are famous for eating each other, nice lol not these are so interesting and better than sea monkeys or brine shrimp in my opinion. so enjoy and look forward to your comments, please be nice though, cheers Triops cancriformis are not the same as the commonly sold Triops longicaudatus, a species which needs heated aquaria for raising. T cancriformis is happy in water that you’d keep your goldfish in 20 Celsius compared to 28 c for T Longicausdatus *No heaters required*. T cancriformis also happens to be the largest Triops species in the world with some individuals measuring in at a colossal 4.5 inches (11 cm) in length. To give a comparison, this giant out grows the common T longicaudatis by nearly double its size!

Where can I buy certain fairy shrimp eggs?

Where can I buy multiple fairy shrimp eggs? Do they sell them at pet stores or hobby lobby or what?
Also how do I take care of them? I do not want sea monkeys due to the fact they need salt water. Where can I buy freshwater fairy shrimp eggs that I can raise in a fish bowl? Also, how do I take care of them?

P.S. I already know about triops and have raised them before. I would prefer fairy shrimp now, though.

recently tried to hatch triops and t turned out they were all fairy shrimp. I have 3 shrimp, but they are all females. I want to breed them. Can the female still produce viable eggs or does a male have to be present. Please answers soon. They only live about two months. Also any additional information on breeding them.

Triops, Fairy Shrimp and Daphnia

Posted on October 14, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

This is what I got out of my “Aquasoars” pack. Everything in there is still small. There used to be way more Daphnia, Fairy Shrimp and Triops. Unfortunatly those died because I didn’t use filtrated water one time (although it had no chlorine), and I didn’t feed those enough either, but the Daphnia died from being eaten. That was the first batch, this is the second batch that hatched, except those are the original Daphnia that have survived out of the 300 (which started as about 3) without being eaten by Triops.
