    @SgtHamster45 not all the eggs hatch. A lot of them do and everytime I’ve done it if its in a decent sized tank theres still usually 30+ adults. And you don’t have to put all the sand back aswell. My brother actually collected the sand and sold loads of packets of it on ebay lol.

    @SgtHamster45 you don’t. once the triops are dead just extract the sand and then dry it. leave it for 2-3 weeks or put it in a container and ure boiler or summet and once it dries you can just add water and more triops will grow. U usually get more sucess this way then just using eggs from the kit as well just use sum new water mixed with some old tank water.

    @Alessandrominis nah thats probably talking about the triops food supplied with the kit. And its not overfeeding its more if you give them too much then the food will go uneaten and make the water dirty which is why you only feed them a little bit at first. Once they get bigger put in small pieces of carrots.

    there is no overfeeding risk? because the instructions of my kit said that if I feed too much my longicaudatus they will explode!

    @Spongeb0bSqu4repants ok thank’s. You know, I’ve had a few longicaudatus this year and last year, but nothing more than two or three triops per time. how did you get all those ones in just one time

    @Alessandrominis chopped up carrots, main things I used to feed them were this pellet food, carrots (mainly) and worms

  22. @manu4455 Well, it depends on your currency. Triops are harder to take care of and live for about 1-2 months, while sea monkeys are easier. I don’t know how long sea monkeys live, though.

  34. @awsumpwnage99 No. The eggs stayed on earth for that many years, without hatching. They stay fertile forever, and don’t hatch ’till they come in contact with water.

  35. @awsumpwnage99 yes…. yes you do :P

  37. @Figzlikesvidz If you try to grab them, they usually swim away, but if you just put one finger into the water, they sometimes suck on it. xD (doesn’t hurt or something though)
