We obtained this Triops & SeaMonkeys kit over Christmas vacation 2008. The temperature at our house is around 66F, so we set up a water bath using a small aquarium and a small aquarium heater. We used R/O-DI water of conductivity 0. Temps in the tank are around 78-84F. Sea Monkeys hatched in about 48hours, Triops hatched in 24hrs.
Days 4, 5, 6 & 7 of a Video Diary series in which I chronicle my attempt to grow Triops.
I have 2 giant fish, their about 5 inches in length and 8 inches around the one is a black moor and the other one is a ryukin and I have a 300L tank and I have 2 pond plants in their and loads of stones I bought the tank second hand from a fish store and was apparantly cleaned properly and looked brand new the guy gave me stones that were apparantly good for the fish and easy to clean which I didn’t like the colour but what evers best for my fish I’ve had them all set up for a month and I’ve had to clean them for the first time and I’ve noticed little bug things like seamonkeys and triops are stuck on my fish and seem to be going under their skin? I don’t really know? I’m taking them to the vets soon when I have the money but can anyone tell me what this could be?
Thanks 
I’m really concerned as they were £85 for the two and I absoloutley love them too bits! <3

is there any pets like triops or seamonkeys ?
I just ordered some of them triops off of ebay and i have read up they get pretty big.. so i have a old 10 gallon tank i dont use.. what all should i do to get it prepared and how long should it be set up before i put them in it? i got the delux triop kits so they will live in the tank included until ready to be moved.. i own alot of fish but triops arent the same.. and distilled water isnt cheap so i was woundering if i could just use the water purifirer i use in the regular fish tanks? or should i just buy distilled water? also should i buy a uv lamp for them? and any other comments will be appericated im trying with them again so hopefully i will succeed and have them live a good 3-4 months as like the seamonkeys i tried over and they lasted a year and a half please please leave tips and comments on your expericence thanks

Or Seamonkeys? I have both so I can bring either one. Of course I would have to hatch them since the Triops I had died a while ago and the Seamonkeys I had died a few days ago. So what do you think?
