Triops Getting Acclimatized to New Tank

Triops Getting Acclimatized to New Tank

My largest Triops, Kneel Before Zod, hanging out in a cup that is floating in a larger aquarium. This is so that the Triops can get used to the temperature of the water in the aquarium before it is allowed into the aquarium itself. Triops can die from “temperature shock” so it is important to acclimatize them slowly to a new tank. Visit mytriops.com to learn more about raising Triops!

Second attempt at hatching Triops. Just one of them hatched, but she grew so quickly. Only on day two, and she seems massive. Lots of other little creatures in there including some beautiful fairy shrimp, which I think you can make out now and again. Sorry that she isn’t completely in focus all the time. All I will say is: iPhone camera!

Advice on growing triops?

i have a tank with little triops in, there is about 200 as far as i can tell. there is about 10 LTRS of water and i have been feeding them as often as recommended, the water is green with a layer of scum on the top. I know i need to change the water, but there is no way of me changing the water without getting rid of a load of triops in the process. They are way to small and i would end up throwing a load away. Shall i just leave it? and wait til they are bigger. Also they are about three weeks old and they are still abslutely tiny, they don’t seem to be growing, is this normal? also is it normal for there to be hundreds hatching out? I got them in the pack called “triops world” by interplay and i have only used half the pack of eggs.

Could I use goldfish aquarium water for triops?

I want triops and have a 55 gallon goldfish tank. Could I use the tank water instead of the distilled water? Also could I use goldfish food to feed them?
