I’m thinking they aren’t considering they need 24/7 lighting and I had them one time, they got to about half an inch and someone turned the light off for the night. xD Yes they were all dead. No where on earth has 24/7 lighting so I don’t think they are natural creatures…Does anyone know?
I bought a triops kit for the first time a week ago and only three hatched. One of them died and the other was subject to cannibalism. I read that they lay eggs every day. If so, when my single triops reaches full maturity, can a place him in a small container for a day or so to lay eggs? I don’t want to go the the wonderful project of getting eggs out of my tank substrate… can’t I just collect a bunch of them in a small container and the dry them out?
i previously had a triops that layed eggs, so i collected them. i would like to know if i did the correct thing in the next step (this is my question). firstly i dried the triops eggs + sand, then i frozen the sand and eggs in a air tight container for 2 days, then i added the triops to fresh water. i know they still have time to hatch but i was getting worried as all the triops i have had in the past have hatched less than 24 hours later. i can see the triops eggs on the top of the water. they are a light pink colour and a bit larger than the sand

Hi, I just bought a brand new 10 gallon glass fish tank from Petco and i am planning on raising Triops Longicaudatus in it.
The tank itself is pretty dusty, inside and out. I think it is because it was just in the store for a long amount of time.
How can I clean out this tank so i can begin assembling the tank?
Can I just rinse the tank out with tapwater and wipe it dry with some paper towels? or is that a bad idea?
ok i have tried to hatch and raise aquasaurs (triops) i successfully hatched and raised 6 only for them to die, it says on all the sale websites of these all you need is a lamp over the tanks to keep the water raised between 70 to 80 degrees, which means leaving on all the time i suppose, i had a glass tank with a water heater in that you can get for tropical fish, as the lamp was not keeping the water a steady temaperature it would raise when heating was on in the house and drop over night. i used bottled water as suggested, on asking some aquatic centres they say they only live about a couple of weeks, others say up to 90 days. i have read these are easy to keep, it was hard work and quite expensive for heaters and water ect. i now have guppies in my fish tank by the way when i gave up but i would like to try again
