What stores can i buy triops eggs?

I want them today and the only store i know sells them is closed on sunday (Hobby Lobby).

Who has heard of “Triops”?

i went to a hobby store yesterday, and i found some triop eggs that are in suspended animation, for $4. you put it in water and follow instructions, and you hatch them and they live in the water.

i bought them and i need to wait around 13 hours til they hatch. who has done this before? is it a fun experience?
how much water are you supposed to have in the tank? i have a couple of centimeters.

have you ever heard of a triops? (prehistoric dinosaur)?

they are the little eggs that you can buy at pretty much any toy store or hobby lobby?
well i had one and i know of 2 other people who have had them… both of them said that once the triops got really big, it literally disappeared!! i didnt climb out, there was no way it could have.. they were just gone one day

did this ever happen to you??

Triops in Freshwater Community Tank

My 35 day old triops (‘Blinky’) was unable to hold its own in my 10 gallon freshwater community aquarium. I found its naked exoskeleton a few hours after this was filmed. The culprit was probably my Clown Loach (not shown). This video is a few years old and the tank is no longer running — keep that in mind if you’re going to comment!
