I love Triops

Posts Tagged ‘hatch’

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?

I got some triop eggs about two days ago and I only see one triop. Will more triops hatch?

I got triops for christmas (I realise they are supposed to be for kids, not grown ups). The box said they live for up to a month. I had one hatch and I’ve had him for over 3 months now. Is he a world record?

I have some other question to:
Will the adults ACTUALLY eat the babies if you don’t seperate them?
Do you have to dry out the tank for the eggs to hatch?

we bought Triops at a craft store. We read the directions and did everything they said. maybe we distilled the water wrong? anyway, they never hatched. can anyone help and give some advice.
