I asked my mom for a Pirahna she got me Triops instead???!!!?

My uncle gave me a 15 gallon tank and I wanted to get a pirahna but my mom laughed at me and got me triops well she ordered them online they haven’t arrived yet and Ive been reading about them and they seem so cool!
But how can I get to have babiesssss??? She bought a science kit thing so idk how many eggs come in it but i read they cannibalize each other which sounds cool but does that mean they can have babies???? What can I do to get them to not eat each other and have babies, because they only live for like 8 weeks but I want them longer than that.
btw, is a 15 gallon tank big enough??? Im not sure if the kit my mom ordered comes with a tank but Im guessing not so is a 15 gallon okay??? How many can I put in a 15 gallon and I have a filter but no heater is that okay???
Thanks! I’ll chose a best answer after school Thanks to anybody who can tell me how to get them to not eat each other and to make babies. :D

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

ghost shrimp with triops?

can an adult ghost shrimp be in a 2 gallon tank with 2 triops that are kinda small still? there’s a lot of uneaten food the filter doesn’t get.
and yes, i know the triops have a short life expectancy so dont remind me
im not overfeeding, they barely eat at all

What types of fish can I put in a 5 gallon tank?

Alright. I have a nicely set-up 5 gallon tank, and I can put as many plants and decorations in itas possible. We are pretty good at keeping fish. I breed snails and have even gotten to the point where I am breeding for color in mystery snails (albino, red, and black). My brother used to raise Gar, African Clown Knife, Red-Tailed Cats,and things like that but now raises different types of Puffers, Lion Fish, Clown Fish, and other salt-water fish. I breed Triops (which is SUPER easy). And I have my Beta who is around 5 years old; so, fish around here are pretty much spoiled too as if they were apart of the family. Then there is the Dragon Goby we have who is a weird little guy and our star gazer and lion goldfish.

So, back to the big question! I have a 5 gallon aqurium with a very good bubbler and filter. The temp of the water is usually around 65*F-72*F (I believe that they should recieve nightcycles where the lights are off and the temp drops down a little). Most of the time, my room is around 70*F with the night being 65*F. I can put as many or as less plants/decorations as my heart (or the fishy’s) hearts desire. I would like more than 2 fish in the tank- but I just want something that looks nice.
