Using Brita Filtered Water for Triops?
Hello, we just received our Triop kit in the post (weren’t expecting it for a few days-thus haven’t bought distilled water yet). Needless to say we are totally excited/impatient 
and I want to know if I can use water filtered by my Brita water filter instead of distilled water from the store?
My RES is yawnin when he first gets out of water. It may be a respiratory infection, I can’t take him to vet!?
I have an RES who’s shell is 3″ long and he is in a 5 gallon with a turtle dock, lots of water, and a UVB bulb. He was kept like this for his whole life. My parents say it’s unneccesary to take him to a vet, and non of friends can take him because I don’t trust them. Once I gave my friend some triops and they died. And my friends think turtles can be kept in a tiny plastic container with a bit of water and a small rock. He’s been yawning for the past few days and his shell is also pulled down and is chipped. He is fed pellets, shrimp, and krill. My parents say that in JULY they will give him a good habitat, when they promised my they would give him a good habitat by CHRISTMAS!!! I did so much research and now I’m trying to make a homemade filter for him. I’m doing the best I can, but after I moved I lost all my $400 of allowance, and when I tried to use $160 I got from New Year’s I still can’t use it because my GRANDPARENTS are here and they don’t have a clue, and they think turtles are the easiest pets to own. WTF!!!!!?????
So anyways he yawns when he first gets out of the water, and some people say it’s respiratory infection, but I cant take him to the vet? What do I do? I really don’t wanna give him away and now my parents think that my turtle has a relationship with our family so THEY don’t wanna give him away, but they are abusing and neglecting it and I can’t even give him away, or do much about it until JULY. Help!
Which should I bring to work Triops?
Or Seamonkeys? I have both so I can bring either one. Of course I would have to hatch them since the Triops I had died a while ago and the Seamonkeys I had died a few days ago. So what do you think?
How do u know when ur triops have hatched?
I put my triop egss in last night at about 8:30. I know they say that u cant see them until they r a few days old but some people have said theyve seen them when they were only 6 hours old! Any signs that tells me they have hatched such as cloudy water or something?
thanks!
thanks! yh they r the longcauditus ones!
well two have just hatched and i can see them clearly!
