Ok so I got my pack of triops Thursday. 1/12/12 and they’ve been sitting their since then and I’m a little worried because in my house it gets cold so I made sure that they got a lot of light and heat but the thing is that the lamp heated the water up all the way to 90 degress f and now I’m worried if they’ll hatch I was able to drop the water temperature to 75-80 degrees but I’m still not sure if they’ll still hatch
I just got triop eggs and was going to hatch then my brother says you need a office lamp that points down is this true. Im going to use a heater for heat so I only need the light to hatch them and the light I have is very bright.
can i use a fish tank heater instead of a lamp to use to hatch triops?
I plan on buying Triops Eggs, no kit or nutrient packs with the eggs. I have read that newly hatched Triops need to eat Detritus to survive. Is there a substitute i can use for Detritus? I have read that you can feed adult triops carrots and i was wondering if i can do the same for the newly hatched triops. Also, can someone tell me how to get an incandescent lamp to keep them warm?

I know you need to keep the water kind of warm, but most of the instructions I’ve found say leave a lamp on 24 hours. Since I do plan to sleep at some point, I am wondering if a small heater would be okay, or would it make the water too warm.
