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?

What is the red worm in my fish tank?

I have a 5 gal. fish tank I keep triops in. I recently changed from rocks to sand since they like to dig. I used some construction grade sand that I sifted and cleaned before using. Seems to be fine and the triops like it. Anyway, this morning I was looking in the tank and saw a little red worm come about half way out of the sand and snag something (food?), then it went back into the sand. I stirred the sand up where I saw it to see if I could see it again, but no luck.
Anyone know what it is?

HELP why did my Triops die?

I woke up this morning, and to my horror, my Triops was curled up on the bottom of the tank… I didn’t do anything to it recently… it is only about 2 weeks old, in a 1 gallon tank with a bubble thing.

I need help with my triops, I have had a light over them since 11am this morning.?

I put the tip of my finger in the water, and it is still really cold, what do I need to make the water get warmer cause the triops hatch tomorrow. The only warm part is the hatchery zone where the light is nearest.

Not all my triops have hatched, do I still feed them?

2 triops hatched on wednesday night, I was going to feed them 2day as they have been around for 24hrs. But this morning I found 2 more baby ones. Do I still feed them? because some have been around for24 hrs, but some havnt.
