Triops

This video is just to show my Triops in action. The pictures in the first half of the video were taken every 4-5 seconds then in second half they were taken every 45 seconds. Then it was all played back at 30 fps. I posted a couple of close-up stills with a little information and goods links for the “Triassic Triops” at: http://webiocosm.blogspot.com/2008/02/arhtro-friday-triops.html

  1. No, I just left them there until they died. Then I let the bowl dry out. It is still sitting there as I left it. I have planned to add water and see if any eggs that had been laid might hatch, but I have just been too lazy to start it up again.

  2. I’ve used the same kit as you :D My first ever triops hatched last week, there was 2 but 1 died…and the one thats still alive is just 2cm long ^^

    Also did you ever move your triops into a bigger tank? The tank they give you just seems so small lol

  11. hey once again, please reply ASAP as soon as you get this message, i just received my ”triassic triops” and it says not spring water, but i had triops previously and spring water was fine, i know not mineral or carbonated water but apparently spring was fine, but it says do not use it, i dont know what to do, would spring water be ok and would they cope? please reply to me VERY soon as i do not have much time…. thank you

  12. As far as I know, it would be okay to put a few plastic pieces of fake plant life in there, but I am no expert. The same goes for your question about gravel. Good luck:)

  17. Just keep the water level up and change it out from time to time. They are really pretty easy to maintain.
