Hey, I haven’t kept triops in a while and we used to buy distilled water but I was wondering if we could get around that. We have guppies so we have plenty of tap water conditioner if that will work and we also have brita filter pitchers and our fridge has a filtered water dispenser in the door. Will any of these work? It’s not a huge deal if they won’t, I’m just hoping for an alternative to going to the store a bunch and BUYING water.
how do i chlorinate water in the way that you mean?

i originally bought a triassic triops kit and got everything set up..put the bottled nestle pure life water in the little hatchery it came with, put the ‘conditioner’ in. then the eggs once the water was warm enough. put a heat lamp i had over it to keep the water warm, it stayed at 75 degrees the whole time. i kept the light on 24 hrs to keep the water that temperature. the next day i saw some triops. the day after that i saw several more. so they hatched..but after a few days they all died. i ordered more eggs but theyre not the same spieces that came in the kit, these will be triops newberryi, and they dont come with condtioner, theyre just eggs. so what are some tips i can get that will help them hatch and thrive. i heard using distilled water sometimes works better? also putting a slice of carrot in the tank make them better somehow? haha. but what can i do as far as the water conditioner since i wont have any this time, or is it not a dire requirement. any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you

Hey, can i use tap water with a fish tank water conditioner for triops to live in?, or does it need bottled or distilled water. If so can i get some of my fish tank water and put it in triop tank then put the eggs in?

Okay… for all of you that have ever heard of triops, you know that water conditioner thingy you have to put in the water??? (looks like a tea bag) Well, it was all weird and stuff… it looked like a cloud… it was on the bottom of it… so, i washed it off. so, the pressure of the water punctured a hole in it… so i had to throw it away. can triops live without it??? you are supposed to keep it in for 8 days… and it was in there for about 3. will they live??? i just want to know…
