Why haven’t my triops hatched?

I got this swamp monster triop tank for my birthday and i set it up, filled it with nestle pure life water, heated the tank up to 22 degrees Celsius -what the instructions said- and then placed the eggs in. Its been 2 days now and nothings happened or changed. Help please?

Triops 1 Week Old Black Beauty Triops from Eggs

Triops swimming around in my hatching tank. These are Black Beauty sp. Triops that I hatched from eggs last week. They grow very quickly, the first couple days they were about the size of a few grains of sand! Now the triops are starting to turn a darker color, they were pale-white the first couple days. Black Beauty Triops need a higher temperature then most other species, I keep the water around 82 F. I’m feeding them some shrimp pellets, and also some stale crackers, though you can pretty much feed triops anything organic. For more info on how I hatched them + pics you can visit www.triopsguys.com. Thanks for watching! If you have any questions just leave a comment and I’ll do my best to answer them. Generally they are the same as other species of triops though.

Triops Shedding its Exoskeleton (And Eggs!)

One of my Triops sheds its exoskeleton and, unfortunately, all of the eggs in its egg pouches :{ You can see a bunch of the eggs getting sucked right into the filter. :/ I immediately unplugged the filter and managed to salvage some of the eggs that were still stuck to the exoskeleton, but most of them were lost. Yes, that is the Cowboys-Eagles playoffs game in the background. Yes, the Cowboys destroyed the Eagles. And yes, that is me whispering “No, no, no, no,” in horror at 0:22.
