Can you hatch triops with well water?

Posted on July 9, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

I live in the middle of nowhere so there is no chlorine in my water or anything like that, should I still boil it?

Well water tends to have high mineral content that isn’t good for hatching Triops, because the eggs use water with low mineral content as a trigger to hatch. You’re better off picking up a jug of bottled spring or distilled water at your local market.
