What’s a good size habitat for Triops?
2 Responses to What’s a good size habitat for Triops?
We sometimes hatch them out in clear plastic drink cups with a couple inches, 3-4 cm, of water and a bit of sand, then move them to partly filled ten gallon aquariums for growth and breeding, sorting them out from other hatching animals such as clam shrimp and fairy shrimp, and in Triops species with sexes, picking out pairs for breeding. Container size is not important for hatching, but for feeding, growth, and laying eggs, larger containers will be needed.

this is the most awesome triops website I’ve ever found. I’m going to link you into their “containers” section.

Then they have a hatchling guide http://mytriops.com/articles/quick_setup.stm for good set-up and container temperatures to keep the eggs and hatchlings at.
This whole website is loaded with info. If you’ve got some time I really suggesting combing through it and learning all you can. It got me interested in triops again. Now if only I could find my kit . . .

EDT: The my triops site recommends 2 liters per adult. I would probably go with the bigger tank if you’ve got the space for it.
Know anything about freshwater scuds?
