Help on hatching/raising triops?
Getting some triops, I know they get about two inches, I’ve got a 5 gallon tank for them, I’ve got a heater I will be using when they get older (It’s a spare fish tank one) and I’ve got loads of live plants I could spare for them. Can get sand for the bottom, but when I first hatch them, should I add about a gallon of water? Leave it for a day or so, then add the eggs? Also, once they’ve laid the eggs and died. What do you do with the eggs? Will they just hatch in the water?
Thanks
how can i clean my fish tank for first time use?
Hi, I just bought a brand new 10 gallon glass fish tank from Petco and i am planning on raising Triops Longicaudatus in it.
The tank itself is pretty dusty, inside and out. I think it is because it was just in the store for a long amount of time.
How can I clean out this tank so i can begin assembling the tank?
Can I just rinse the tank out with tapwater and wipe it dry with some paper towels? or is that a bad idea?
Theres this organism I see in a dirty fish tank what is it?
I used to have a fish tank that’s really dirty, like for months. The fishes were all gold fishes if i remembered it correctly. When i took a look in the fish tank, i see this little moving thing that looks/shapes like a triops cancriformis in the pile of poops. Anyone knows what it is? I’ve been wondering what it was for years.
The only living things in there are a few gold fishes, what else can sprout out of that fish tank?
What is the red worm in my fish tank?
I have a 5 gal. fish tank I keep triops in. I recently changed from rocks to sand since they like to dig. I used some construction grade sand that I sifted and cleaned before using. Seems to be fine and the triops like it. Anyway, this morning I was looking in the tank and saw a little red worm come about half way out of the sand and snag something (food?), then it went back into the sand. I stirred the sand up where I saw it to see if I could see it again, but no luck.
Anyone know what it is?
