But what are the differences in male an female triops?
5 Responses to But what are the differences in male an female triops?
The only exact way would be to look at their eleventh pair of legs. In the females, this pair has evolved into a round egg capsule to carry their eggs. In the males… nothing. Just a regular leg.

The only way is to wait until the triops is 3weeks old, if it has no egg sacks, it's male.
Some people say the females have longer tails, but I can't find any evidence to prove this.
