Triop help?!?

I am trying to grow these little animals called triops. They are kind of like sea monkeys, except they are bigger, like crabs. Has anyone grown them and do they work? I need some help, because they look a little too intense for me.
This is important. I want them to survive and I just cant do it on my own.

  1. Just follow the directions and you should be fine.

    Wikepedia and 26 years of keeping and spawning many different species of tropical fish and cichlids. 25 tanks up and running at present (partial water changes done every week to 10 days). Mostly cichlids and scavengers right now with 5 tanks devoted to various freshwater crustaceans. I have worked in both the retail and wholesale tropical fish business.

    The Greatest Enemy of Truth is not the deliberate lie; Rather it is all those things we know to be true…that are not.

    It looks like they may be the EASIEST pet ever! Even as far as shutting down, grabbing the eggs..and restarting whenever you feel like it.
    Lots of info, pics and movies on this site.

  3. Here’s what I like to give out as far as advice for triops care: http://filebox.vt.edu/c/channum/triops_care.htm This has everything from hatching to collecting the eggs for a new batch. Yes they work.
