  2. it depends on the type of fish.. if they are peranas or chinese fighting fish most likely yes…

  3. They wouldn’t live very long in the treated water that your fish need and then your fish would certainly eat them – either when they are weak or actually dead. I would not mix these at all. It sounded fun though – just use the kit that it comes with and you’ll be able to see them grow on their own!

    Good luck!

  4. If you have fish in your fish tank they will eat them. I wouldn’t do it.

  5. Wow, they are like over grown brine shrimp. I guess it depend s on the fish you have. If your fish are larger there is a good chance that they will eat them.

    I have been looking around on the Internet about these things and they look like they are aggressive and might actually attack your fish. Keep them separate.

  7. I don’t know.. Triops are more similar to shellfish than “sea-monkeys” but it doesn’t hurt to ask your local pet store before you plop them in the tank. Otherwise the fish might end up eating them or they might harm the fish. Do some compatibility research on you existing fish.

  8. I can almost guarantee you that they will be eaten, probably just as fast as you put them in. Your fish will think it’s a holiday and they are getting special treats.

  9. Most fish will eat them. They are similar to brine shrimp, which i feed to my aquarium fish (includeing a tank of platys) on a regular basis. Fish love em.

  10. I actually know a few people that have added triops to their fish tank…I just don’t know the outcome.
    I guess it depends on the personality of your fish. They might survive, but then might not. If you want to experiment then try putting 1 or 2 in the fishtank. If you’d rather have them live, then no…don’t add them

  11. mollies would definately eat them and the danios would probably join in too. Have you ever noticed your mollies pecking at plants, the glass, or gravels? The like eating tiny creatures like this and peck around (kinda like chicken) looking for tinny animals.
