Triops with a Problem

Initially I had 11 Triopses, now I have 5. That’s because those 6 triopses had a weird problem: They would turn over on their backs and then they were unabe to turn over again, they didn’t find enough food lying on their backs all the time and that’s why they died… I think. My tank is 30x20x20cm, which adds up to 12 litres, but there’s only like 8-10 litres of water in there. The filter is way too big for such a small aquarium, but it’s one of the smallest I could find. and it seemed fairly decent. It works just fine. It’s the EHEIM Liberty 100. Sorry about the flickering/interference and by the way, that apple snail was a huge mistake. It ate everyone of them when I was on vacation. It also made the tank bottom very slimy.

I think my betta was bullying one of the ghost shrimp and killed him. The ghost shrimp laid motionless as I poked him and did not move when I net him up. Nor was he pink or white which usually meant they are dead, he was as clear as can be. I put him in the Triops tank, not wanting him to go to waste and as a Triops snatched him up I saw him move his swimmerets very weakly. I fell really bad now, but there was nothing I could do to save his life even if I took him away from the Triops. T_T

Whats wrong with my triop?

So Monkey(my triop) is about 6 days old. She is swimming around like crazy! I gave her a small boiled potato cube to nibble on and she is on and off of it(I took it out cause i thought that might be her problem). Did she over eat and thats what is making her swim like crazy or is it just a phase that small triops go through. also when she realized her potato was taken out, she will swim around even more than before! She will go to the spot where i had her potato and dig around there… i think she misses it.

Triops problem/question?

its day8 and they are not getting any bigger than a centimeter, Now they swim to the top and then fall down upside down to the bottom, it looks like there dead but there not. then they do it again i have plenty of room in they tank and im worried because they are not eating
they are not a knock off of sea monkeys, sea monkeys are brine shrimp that grow to a millimeter that you get 50 cents at the fish store
I put the fish feeder block in and
I hope it works
I already lost one triops due to being unable to molt

Question about Triops?

I know it says EVERYWHERE I look to not use tap water with my triops. But, what about dechlorinated tap water? It’s perfectly fine for fish, and i’ve read of a few people who have done this with no problem! I keep my fish tank running constantly, and i want to put triops in it. But i’ve also read that an established body of water won’t yield triops easily. Does my fish tank (currently fish-less) fall into this category?
