My triops are about 10 days old in this video, which shows their THIRD feeding today. These dudes can eat!
Triops are very flexible in their feeding behaviour, and will scrape algae from rocks and other surfaces.

would a small heater be okay for Triops?
I know you need to keep the water kind of warm, but most of the instructions I’ve found say leave a lamp on 24 hours. Since I do plan to sleep at some point, I am wondering if a small heater would be okay, or would it make the water too warm.
is there any point in trying to raise triops in england?
they need warmth to survive and with our british weather its hard work! should i just give up and sell the remainder of the triops eggs i bought?
it was amazing keeping triops but mine ALWAYS die at 8days old. i hatched out about 20 in one packet- good, but not if they dont last! at 8 days old they are hardly visible! are they dying because i gave them a water change? i didnt change all the water and the water was either rain water or reated tap water, either way i got the same result- dead triops!

What types of fish can I put in a 5 gallon tank?
Alright. I have a nicely set-up 5 gallon tank, and I can put as many plants and decorations in itas possible. We are pretty good at keeping fish. I breed snails and have even gotten to the point where I am breeding for color in mystery snails (albino, red, and black). My brother used to raise Gar, African Clown Knife, Red-Tailed Cats,and things like that but now raises different types of Puffers, Lion Fish, Clown Fish, and other salt-water fish. I breed Triops (which is SUPER easy). And I have my Beta who is around 5 years old; so, fish around here are pretty much spoiled too as if they were apart of the family. Then there is the Dragon Goby we have who is a weird little guy and our star gazer and lion goldfish.
So, back to the big question! I have a 5 gallon aqurium with a very good bubbler and filter. The temp of the water is usually around 65*F-72*F (I believe that they should recieve nightcycles where the lights are off and the temp drops down a little). Most of the time, my room is around 70*F with the night being 65*F. I can put as many or as less plants/decorations as my heart (or the fishy’s) hearts desire. I would like more than 2 fish in the tank- but I just want something that looks nice.
