And then it said to put it under a lamp…well do u have to keep the lamp there all the time? or just let the water to warm up? how about the water question? please i want my triops to grow and i havent started yet…thanks for ur help
Triops (tadpole/shield shrimp) eggs will not hatch in tap water that has been dechlorinated and treated to remove heavy metals. Is it because the eggs are sensitive to calcium or bicarbonate ions? Or are the eggs simply sensitive to a certain threshold of osmotic pressure?
