Where can I buy multiple fairy shrimp eggs? Do they sell them at pet stores or hobby lobby or what?
Also how do I take care of them? I do not want sea monkeys due to the fact they need salt water. Where can I buy freshwater fairy shrimp eggs that I can raise in a fish bowl? Also, how do I take care of them?
P.S. I already know about triops and have raised them before. I would prefer fairy shrimp now, though.

Hello, I’ve tried hatching a batch of triops eggs and used only distilled water, plenty of light and controlled temperature. 6 days have passed with no hatching so I’m assuming something went wrong. I read on some websites that very often Triops kits come with dry organic matter (usually leaves) that are supposed to provide baby triops with nutrition for the first few days. My kit did not supply this, so I used plain dry leaves from my garden. Didn’t work. Neither did my tank where I put fairy shrimp eggs (for triops food) and the exact same conditions as the triops hatching tank.
I started another tank for fairy shrimp eggs using only water and no dried leaves. Temperature, light and water quality were all highly controlled. Still no hatching after 4 days.
Where have I screwed up? Is it possible for ALL the eggs in my kit to be dead?
