Okay… so I got some aquasaurs (triops) for Christmas and on Boxing day I put all the eggs in and got everything done for them. It says in the leaflet that they should hatch in 1-2 days, but I have only found 1 that has hatched 
. If only 1 of them has hatched, what should I do to help the others hatch??
Plus, it says in the leaflet, “on the fourth day, you should feed them”, but does this mean the fourth day after they hatch, or the fourth day of the whole triops hatching process??
Please help me on this!!
Triops are very tiny for the first five days. There might have been more than one. Triops need to live in a temperature of 70-85 degrees. Also, when you get your Triops, don’t put all the eggs in. Just put in about 10-15. Your Triops tank was too cold, so the eggs couldn’t hatch. Try getting a thermometer from a pet store. If you already have a thermometer, peel it on to the tank. Once you have your thermometer on, Try taking the lid off (if you put the eggs in your tank first) and put it under a lamp. If it gets to hot, bring it back to where it was and leave it there. I would suggest you to put you tank or cup under the lamp for about 4 hours. Do it for 5 hours and 30 minutes if the temperature is under 70 degrees or if there is no line on the thermometer. If you need any questions, e-mail me!
