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 triops wont hatch?

so 6 days ago, i bought “triop park” and i used spring water and put a light bolb to keep it warm ( turned it of at night ) on the 4th day i couldnt see anything but i added food and more eggs, now its the 6th day, still see nothing so i got the gate seperating the “nusery” from the tank out and added more eggs

is there anything similar to triops?

see my brother got some triops for his birthday and they are really cool and i was just wondering if there is some kind of pet kinda similar to that. like i know that there is those sea monkeys but i dont like those they look ugly so if there is anything u can think of that would be great.

Can I use something other than spring water for my triops?

I have some triop eggs that I want to hatch. Well I read that you need spring or bottled water to put them in. I don’t have any but I really want to hatch them to show to my friend. Can I hatche them in anything else safely?

What other fresh water animals use diapause when water has dried up?

I know there are killifish, fairyshrimp, clam shrimp, and triops. Brine shrimp require salt and I am not looking for commercial names for anything. I just want to know if there are anymore. I’m thinking about making a tank full of “just add water” pets.
