That’s so cool! I saw these at the store the other day and thought they were just a cool little animation or something, but they’re actually real, wow!
I have on that hatched. I would like to transfer it to a bigger tank so I can try to hatch more. What kind of sand do I use in the bottom of the bigger tank?
+JayTheJay My triops lived for about 2 months after hatching. Since triops live in stagnant puddles of water in the wild, they don't really need super clean water. But the water in my tank would get cloudy/dirty looking after about 1 or 2 weeks, so I got into the habit of changing about 50% of the water every week to keep the tank looking good. I would carefully pour about half the water out of the tank, and then add fresh Poland Spring bottled water to replace it. If you do this, just make sure the fresh water is the same temperature as the old water.
Wow that ones looks big! My son got a kit for Christmas and only 2 grew to about the size on my pinky nail so far...and there’s another thing in the bowl I have no idea what it is
This little guy got to be about 2 inches long. A few hatched but he was the only one to make it to full size... I think he ate the others. 😮 Survival of the fittest!
Please, when you hatch those eggs again, give them a bigger tank with more spaceon the bottom they need a tank wich is filled with at least five liters to have a good live .
Sorry for a delay comment hopefully u can reply quickly I just got these troops and shrimp- pets and I would like to know if u need a bigger tank than the one it requires?
You can feed them any kind of organic or plant matter. I fed my triop tiny bits of carrots and peas. I also gave it a tiny bit of fish food from the pet store. Only give an amount they can finish eating within a few minutes. If you give too much, the leftover food will rot and pollute the water.
Can you give me any tips on raising them ? Only 2 have hatched today is the 3rd day and one is double the size of the other one. I want them to grow big tho!
I changed the water once a week. Don't use tap water or distilled water. Bottled spring water, like Poland Spring, is best. Also, don't just feed them the food pellets. I gave the triops tiny bits of lettuce and cooked peas sometimes and they loved it. If you only have 2 triops and one is a lot bigger than the other, you might want to separate them before the big one eats the little one... yes, triops eat each other. 😲
Once they hatch, they grow really quickly. When they first hatch, you can barely see them. They're like little white specks moving in the water. But every day they get remarkably bigger. I'd say about 2-3 weeks after they hatch, they reach full adult size.
how long did it take for yours to grow? I bought my kids some but o the directions it states to only add half the pouch in case u wanted to have more later, but it has been 3 days and nothing has been seen yet
The eggs hatch after about 3 days. But they're really really tiny when they first hatch. They're like tiny little specks in the water and it's really hard to even see them. After a few days they get a little bigger and are easier to see.
I still use bottled spring water, like Poland Spring. That's because they don't stop growing even when they're adults. They still grow and molt their shells every week or two. And when they molt they need the minerals in the water. Bottled distilled water is too pure, with no minerals. And tap water has chlorine which is poisonous.
Bought this for my grandson's birthday November 23rd. By December 24th the "One & Only" monster that remained died. By the way, the tank was full of "hatchlings," too numerous to count, but they all got eaten up by the "One & Only. How could that monster be so cruel??? Maybe it would have lasted longer had it not eaten its relatives.
That is their nature. I over fed mine but these are primitive little things running on very old instincts. They eat whatever fits in their mouth and doesn't struggle too much whether they are actually hungry or not.
They only do that if not fed properly. Triops will eat anything organic, so if you were to not feed them for some period of time then they will eventually start preying on fish. If they are fed regularly they should just ignore everyone else in the tank.
Can you help me please .i got a small tank with the set. But i have brought breeding eggs. Can i use the tank I have? Also as they grow they will need a new bigger tank,how big does the tank need to be?
Hey i got a question, i accidentally put first the water and then the sand. And after i put it, the water started getting cloudy. Would that affect something? Cause i already put the eggs after that.
I doesn't matter if you put the water in first. Even if you had put the sand in first, when you add the water, it will still get cloudy. The triops don't mind cloudy water at all. In fact, in the wild they live in dirty puddles of water. Just make sure you don't use tap water from the sink because it has chlorine. Use bottled water like Poland Spring.
The triops don't really mind if the water is cloudy. In the wild they live in muddy puddles of water. But I cleaned the aquarium anyway because it looks better with clean water. Once a week I would carefully pour out about half the old water and replace it with fresh Poland Spring water. Just make sure the new water is room temperature (not too cold or too hot).

Yes, but make sure you leave tap water out for at least 24 hours so all the chlorine is gone. Bottled water like Poland Spring is better than tap water.
@@miaowzerz Evian has too much minerals for hatching. Too much minerals in the water makes it hard for the eggs to hatch. Use purer water like Poland Spring, Dasani, or distilled water for hatching. Then you can use Evian after they hatch because the minerals in the water are good for their shells.
Are you sure? They are very very tiny when they first hatch. Like tiny white specks moving in the water. Hold the container up to the light so you can see the water more clearly.
@@robertfierro7179 oof.... i know you posted 4 years ago... but anyways... THAT ONE SUCKS! the discovery one? yeah i got that and it only gave me brine shrimp ugh! everything INSIDE was labeled brine shrimp this and that. anyways yeah! and thinkbox from target for triops did the same.. gonna buy a lighter box.... bc brine shrimp come with salt so its heavier ugh
Sometimes there are eggs of other little critters mixed in with the triops eggs by accident. For example, I know some people have gotten fairy shrimp eggs and/or daphnia eggs hatching with their triops. Your orange creatures may be triops, or they may be something else. Once they grow a little bigger you'll be able to see more clearly what they are. And don't worry, they grow pretty fast! Triops are voracious eaters so, in many cases, if other things hatch with the triops, the triops will eventually eat them.
+aye shorty70 The Triops food that's included with the kit is just baby fish food that you can buy in any pet shop. You can also feed your Triops tiny bits of carrot, peas, lettuce, etc.
+aye shorty70 For the first few days after they hatch you don't have to feed them anything. They are really tiny and they just nibble on the algae that's growing on the stuff floating in the tank. When they are about 1 week old you can feed them 1 food pellet each day. When they get bigger, you can feed them 2 or 3 feed pellets each day.
It looks stressed. They evolved to live in shallow, murky puddles. They hunt for tidbits through silt and mud with their little legs. Maybe that tank is too "clean" for it?

I have 8 in my tank right now they hatched about 5 days ago and are almost half way grown! I sure hope they live to become that size
I thinks it's quite amazing how these hybrid creatures have feet to crawl with and a tail to swim with!
They’re not hybrids
Edit; not entirely at least

Got 2 boxes today for 20$, in Florida
I had these as a kid, but one got too big and kept eating the new ones I put in the tank
Yh they are cannibals that's why ppl only end up with 1
A live swimming fossil.
I have on that hatched. I would like to transfer it to a bigger tank so I can try to hatch more. What kind of sand do I use in the bottom of the bigger tank?
You can buy aquarium sand from Petco, PetSmart, or Amazon. It's usually some type of silica sand or coral sand.
How long do they usually live? Also, do you have to clean the tank after a certain period?

I don't know what kind of sand it is. I just used the package of sand that was included in the triops kit.
Bro I can’t wait for mines to hatch_
i hae the same kind of kit however its been four days and idk if they have hatched
@@Rip_gozumizaka it takes a few days for them to hatch and they're extremely tiny when they first hatch. They're like tiny white specks.
then there is me trying to hatch them-
yeah im probably going to fail lol
Don't give up hope. In the wild, these tough little guys live in puddles of rain water. You'd be surprised how tough they are.
just don't give up, there's a high chance of it hatching. they can survive even out of the water just don't worry
Sorry for a delay comment hopefully u can reply quickly I just got these troops and shrimp- pets and I would like to know if u need a bigger tank than the one it requires?
Triops and fairy shrimp don't need a big tank. A small tank is fine. They don't grow very big.
Warren Tang Thank you
Yo I got one right now and what do I feed them?
You can feed them any kind of organic or plant matter. I fed my triop tiny bits of carrots and peas. I also gave it a tiny bit of fish food from the pet store. Only give an amount they can finish eating within a few minutes. If you give too much, the leftover food will rot and pollute the water.

I puted in the food what should I do
Be careful not to give them too much food, only enough food they can eat in one day. Because leftover food causes bacteria to grow in the water.
How long did this triop live?
This little guy lived about 3 months. A lot of times they die during molting when they get older because molting takes a lot of energy.
how long did it take for them to get that big?
Once they hatch, they grow really quickly. When they first hatch, you can barely see them. They're like little white specks moving in the water. But every day they get remarkably bigger. I'd say about 2-3 weeks after they hatch, they reach full adult size.
Awesome, thanks
Please give him a bigger tank he’s stressed
he might get a bigger tank as the triop grows larger

And when they molt they need the minerals in the water. Bottled distilled water is too pure, with no minerals. And tap water has chlorine which is poisonous.
Why is there only one?
Usually only a few hatch. And then the biggest one ends up eating the smaller ones so there's only one left.

Same thing happened with mine. It was survival of the fittest. Kinda like Hunger Games for triops. Lol
you have to feed them more so they dont eat eachother.
You did not feed them enough. and if there is one that is too big, it may be a good idea to separarate it
That is their nature. I over fed mine but these are primitive little things running on very old instincts. They eat whatever fits in their mouth and doesn't struggle too much whether they are actually hungry or not.
DO NOT put these guys in with your other fish or tadpoles, etc.! They quickly kill and eat everything else.
They only do that if not fed properly. Triops will eat anything organic, so if you were to not feed them for some period of time then they will eventually start preying on fish. If they are fed regularly they should just ignore everyone else in the tank.

Kim Taylor Sure, you can use this tank for your eggs. Triops don't need a big tank. In the wild they live in puddles of water.

Nah, accidentally shaking the aquarium won't affect anything. Triops are tough little guys.
Warren Tang Oh ok
Last one, is that true that you have to put them on light?
Hey, how can I clean my aquarium? Cause it's very dirty.
The triops don't really mind if the water is cloudy. In the wild they live in muddy puddles of water. But I cleaned the aquarium anyway because it looks better with clean water.

Yes you can
Yes, but make sure you leave tap water out for at least 24 hours so all the chlorine is gone. Bottled water like Poland Spring is better than tap water.

Bottled spring water, like Poland Spring, is the best.
