I bought some Triops at Michaels…?

I got a box of triops and and now that the animals in the tank have grown big, half of them look like miniature horseshoe crabs but the other half look like orange sea monkeys! The sea monkeys have been eating the triop food that came with the kit. I’ve had sea monkeys before, and they ate different food, like algae that grew in their tank.
Are there supposed to be sea monkeys in a triop kit?
Do the triops eat sea monkeys?
(The triops are insane–they swim in circles and upside down and hog the all food and ram into the sea monkeys :( )

help with hatching my triops?

hi my little cousin got some triops from argos 2yrs ago and after he bought them it was too cold for them to hatch so he left them in its original box, and just 4days ago he got them out and tried to hatch them, but we’ve done what it said on the box. and its been 4days and i still cant see no triops, an on the manual it says ” they hatch in one day” and now im wondering if we’ve left it too long and the eggs are dead.
so are they dead or do i have to wait even longer?

Plz help me! i don’t know what to do and I NEED answers right away…?

Ok, I have just gotten triops and did everything the box told me to. (i put spring water in it, heated it to the triops zone, and let in natural light all day long.) I am just on the beggining of the third day hatching them and they havn’t hatched yet. The box does say “will hatch within 1-3 dayz. Should I stop worrying? Or will my triops not hatch :(
oh so they will hatch? Cuzz the temp. is at 26 degrees calcius/
