Could I use goldfish aquarium water for triops?

I want triops and have a 55 gallon goldfish tank. Could I use the tank water instead of the distilled water? Also could I use goldfish food to feed them?

Is this ok for my future Triops?

I have a 2.5 gallon tank ready , with a cave and water conditioned and aquarium salted water
Is this ok
Since this is a larger tank for them how long will they live?
Do they breed quick??
Breeding signs?
Anything else or tips
Can I feed them tropical flake when I run out of triop food

How to put mystery snail in a holding container..?

Hello, I currently have a 10 gallon tank with some sand and a few plants. The only inhabitant right now is a mystery snail (my Triops died so hes the only thing left)

I want to get African Dwarf Frogs, but in order to do this, I want to change my substrate from sand to eco-complete (so I can add more plants and theyll stay healthier)

The 10 gallon tank is the only tank I have, so where should I put the snail while I am cleaning the tank? I have small, containers that I can keep him in for the time being, like small glass containers and such.

But for heat, should I just keep a lamp over the container he is in? Or will the intense light harm the snail?

Can triops be kept in a fish tank?

I saw some questions about triops, and they look cool. Could they be kept in a heaveily planted 10 to 55 gallon fish tank, would they be eaten quickly, would the eggs need to be removed, could they be kept in a crab tank, or a guppy fry tank, and would they eat or be eaten by the fry? Thanks.

Fish babies?? what do I do?

I am breeding Triops to put in my 10 gallon aquarium BUT it seems like i woke up for a little suprise this morning…

The Anacharis plant I purchased from a pet store must have had fish eggs somewhere on it, because i see two little tiny fish babies (or at least im pretty sure they are) they have black eyes, clear bodies and long tails, they look alot like tadpoles but verrrry small

I cant put my triops in the tank or they will eat the baby fish.

Im thinking i can give them back to the petstore once the babies are old enough, or give them to a friend with an aquarium.

BUT how long would it be until the fish babies begin to look like an identifiable fish?
