How long does it take for them to hatch once you add the nutrients? I have a 10 gallon cycled tank, how many could I have in there at once, if any? Do they need a heater, my temp with out a heater is 68-70 degrees? What do you feed them? What are their life spans? Will the reproduce in captivity? Any other info I will need to keep them? What stores sell them?
ok i have tried to hatch and raise aquasaurs (triops) i successfully hatched and raised 6 only for them to die, it says on all the sale websites of these all you need is a lamp over the tanks to keep the water raised between 70 to 80 degrees, which means leaving on all the time i suppose, i had a glass tank with a water heater in that you can get for tropical fish, as the lamp was not keeping the water a steady temaperature it would raise when heating was on in the house and drop over night. i used bottled water as suggested, on asking some aquatic centres they say they only live about a couple of weeks, others say up to 90 days. i have read these are easy to keep, it was hard work and quite expensive for heaters and water ect. i now have guppies in my fish tank by the way when i gave up but i would like to try again

I purchased the Triassic Triops Deluxe kit.
The heater would assure the right temp. for the Triops, as I don’t have a lamp. The only thing I have is a 5 gallon aquarium and it has the growing light in the hood, and it’s next to my computer monitor. Would both be sufficient lighting for the Triops to grow, and food value (algae) wise?
The kit comes with food. I read they also need the algae as well.
