I love Triops

Posts Tagged ‘use’

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

I’ve heard of Triops, Aqua-Aliens, Seamonkeys, and Merbirds. Are there any other instant pets that use suspended animation? Or any instant pets that don’r use suspended animation? Also, are Merbirds and Seamonkeys they same?
And don’t say that these are all brine shrimp like the dummy who put the first answer, because if u look them up, they aren’t all the same
edit- you are still a dummy because they are different animals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sea monkeys are brine shrimp, you can’t classify different animals with the same name.

i tried to hatch triops once……but it never hatched……i need some details about hatching triops….i just use a fish as a container for my triops…..and….i need to know where/how many should i poke in the conditioner bag…..and how do i know the temperature of the water without the thermometer…….
