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

Posted on May 8, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

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

Triop Trouble:::::::::____—-:::::?

Posted on April 18, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

Okay so a day ago i took my triop out of the water because i needed to clean the water. I quickly transferred it with a spoon. Then a mysterious red spot appeared. A day later it died. I kept its body for investigations. The triop would not be that active. Any help would be appreciated. This is my sixth generation of triops from 1 kit and i have not seen anything of the like.

Why are my Neon Tetra fish disappearing?

Posted on March 1, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

Yesterday one of my neon tetra’s died. I noticed this at dinner time but was too lazy to remove it so i left it in the tank. The next day in the afternoon i came home from school and decided to remove the dead neon tetra, but i couldn’t find the corpse. There is no trace of it whatsoever.

I have a 10 gallon tank with 3 neon tetras(originally 4 but one died as i stated above), 2 assorted guppies, 2 lyretail guppies, and 1 chinese algae eater. I also have some baby triops (not even half an inch long yet). I actually saw one of the triops eating the neon tetra, but theres no way he could’ve finished the whole corpse.

I’m thinking that my chinese algae eater is the culprit? Can someone enlighten me?

Anyhow, here’s a video of the triop trying to eat the dead neon tetra:
