Anyone know anything about lepidurus cryptus?

I was looking into getting some Lepidurus Cryptus (triops cousins) for my freshwater aquariums. Are they easy to keep? How long do they live? Are they 100% freshwater? Do they do good in community tanks? Please only answers if you have had expience with them or know a lot about them.

Thank you for the youtube link on the last post, just looking for a little more info/opinions :)

My water for Triops dipped to 70 degrees last night, will they still hatch?

I had my light on and it was doing good for an entire day at 78 degrees but my mom must have turned it off last night Also 3 of the eggs look like their stuck together will they still hatch or should i separate them
I know I ask a lot of questions and someones reading this thinking just READ THE DAMN INSTRUCTIONS STUPID Well I did and it didnt say anything about eggs sticking together or the water temperature dipping below 73 like if you have to dry them out and start again or just rewarm the water Plus my mom isnt helping me with it since shes busy with work and my baby brother so yeah so I turn to the internet for help :D Thanks in advance to anyone who answers without calling me dumb :P

Triops HELP?! What type of water contains calcium?

Sooooo I just got my Triops in the mail FINALLY and Im reading the instructions and am confused. Can I use tap water with water conditioner (Stress Coat)? Or what type of bottled water do I need? It just lists what types not to use, but not what types you can use? Does tap water contain calcium? Like what brands? Also is rock salt aquarium salt? Is it the same thing?
If I screw up which I most likely will because my mom’s not helping me and I didnt realize you cant just use any water can I rehatch the eggs? Or no?
