Same way you move a fish, it will be a little stress full, but its the only way.

Fill a large plastic zip-loc bag with the water from your Triops container. Then, put them in the bag, blow some air in the nearly-closed bag, and float it in your new tank so the water in the bag will be the same temp as the new tank’s. Keep it this way 20 mins. at least before releasing the fish to the new water.

Okay first, you must hatch them in a small container!
They have to swim to find food (they are not even 1mm long when they first hatch) and if they can’t find food they will die.
Wait untill they are atleast 6days old.
Then boil some water and let it cool. When it is the same tempreture, tip some of the tank water into the new tank.
Next tip your triops in. (You can do this by letting them swim into it if you tip the small tank.)
I hope this makes sence!
