Triops pet care for beginners!?

I just got a triops kit and they seem like pretty cool creatures to keep as pets but I want to know what other creatures I can put in the same tank as a triops? I thought about fish, snails, shrimps, sea monkeys and stuff but I dont want anything thats going to get butchered by (or butcher!) my triops. Any suggestions? Also what ornamentation for a triops setup is suitable? Someone said that coconut shell is beneficial to the water. Is this true?

Triops in a community tank

I’m raising 6 triops in a 5 gallon community alone with 2 apple snails and a plecotomus. This video is more on the instructional side than cool triop dances. Some of the tips are from my personal experience, but most of them are from MyTriops.com if your triops are not doing well or you’re simply a beginner, go check out that site for lots of useful information.
