Triops! I learned so much but I’m still stuck on this one question…?

Posted on January 2, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

I want triops really bad and I know everything about them, but I don’t know how to breed them. What I mean is, how can I tell if my triops are going to hatch eggs. When? Where (in water or on sand etc)? And how soon? PLEASE HELP ME!
