Triops 1 Week Old Black Beauty Triops from Eggs

Triops swimming around in my hatching tank. These are Black Beauty sp. Triops that I hatched from eggs last week. They grow very quickly, the first couple days they were about the size of a few grains of sand! Now the triops are starting to turn a darker color, they were pale-white the first couple days. Black Beauty Triops need a higher temperature then most other species, I keep the water around 82 F. I’m feeding them some shrimp pellets, and also some stale crackers, though you can pretty much feed triops anything organic. For more info on how I hatched them + pics you can visit www.triopsguys.com. Thanks for watching! If you have any questions just leave a comment and I’ll do my best to answer them. Generally they are the same as other species of triops though.

How often do triops lay their eggs?

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?

Sea monkeys or triops?

I used to have sea monkeys when i was really young but never saw them grow more than a week because i knocked them over (oops) anyway mum wouldn’t let me have more hehe

Many years later i’ve decided to give them ago, i looked around and saw triops aswell, Which should i get triops or sea monkeys?

My triop eggs just look like dried up grass or pot, if you will. So uh, are they supposed to be like this?

Yeah, I got triops from a friend like a week ago, and I can’t tell if they accidentally gave me pot or actual eggs. So, yeah. xD And if they ARE the eggs, how do I make them hatch? I mean, I googled stuff, and I know I need a heat source, and purified water, but is there a secret ingredient I’m missed or what?
