Different things hatched in Triop kit?

So I got this kit for triops and after 3 days 1 triop looking thing did hatch. But then 2 of the little twitchy bug things hatched 4 days after I put the eggs in, still no more of the triops, then now on the 5th day a TON of these little twitchbugs were swimming around, and im amost positive its not triops because i looked at them under a microscope and they look like a see through bug. what are these? and are any more triops going to hatch?

How and where do triops hatch their eggs? Do they hide?

I have one triop and he/she was digging underneath a sea shell I had in the tank and now i dont see it, what could of happened?

Using Brita Filtered Water for Triops?

Hello, we just received our Triop kit in the post (weren’t expecting it for a few days-thus haven’t bought distilled water yet). Needless to say we are totally excited/impatient :) and I want to know if I can use water filtered by my Brita water filter instead of distilled water from the store?

i just ordered triops from ebay and in woundering how to prepare?

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

Just a little bit ago i looked in the tank and only seen a few after earlier seeing about 25 and there is a bunch of water conditioner floating aroung on top….could they be hiding in it or are they already being cannibals?????
