Triops 72 days old, changing water. “Triops è un genere di crostacei notostraci della famiglia Triopsidae. Il nome Triops deriva dal greco e significa “tre occhi”. Questi animali sono comparsi milioni di anni fa, e sono quindi dei fossili viventi. Tutti i rappresentanti dell’ordine Notostraca sono dotati di tre occhi, a differenza degli Anostraca l’ocello naupliare è presente anche nella forma adulta oltre ai due occhi composti. Gli occhi composti sono usati per la ricerca del cibo ed i predatori ma permettono una buona visione solo da breve distanza. L’ocello naupliare percepisce solo la luce agendo quindi come una bussola(la luce è indispensabile per la loro crescita) supponendo che la luce arrivi sempre dall’alto. In natura i triops vivono in pozzanghere di acqua dolce di poca profondità,strisciando sul fondo ma anche nuotando;divenuti adulti depongono uova per partenogenesi(partendo solo dalla cellula uovo)nella sabbia,dove possono resistere anche per anni senza acqua,ma arrivate le piogge,quando vengono a contatto con acqua non troppo fredda esse si schiudono,(Un solo esemplare di triops può covare uova anche senza l’altro sesso essendo ermafrodite.) Questo stato di “riposo” viene detto diapausa,e viene tuttora studiato dagli scienziati per cercare di riprodurlo artificialmente nell’uomo.” wikipedia : en.wikipedia.org it.wikipedia.org full album here : mytriops.com

My fish won’t eat tropical flakes?
I have some neon tetras and guppies in my tank. Originally i only had betta food, wardley shrimp pellets, and custom triop food(i also have triops in the tank). The fish didn’t respond to any except for the triop food (which are pellets made of 40%protein and 10%fat). I decided to switch the food to tropical flakes to increase diet variety, but they don’t even touch the flakes. I even tried crushing the flakes like i did with the triop pellets, but still received no response. It’s like their only looking for the triop food.
Have they become picky eaters? How can i make them transition between the two food types?
Where can I buy certain fairy shrimp eggs?

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.
