- Hatching and Raising Triop. Tutorial about Breeding and Keeping Triops. Growing Instruction for Triops Cancriformis (Beni Kabuto)! In this video you'll see my Triops breeding setup and aquariums, and I'll show you my method of hatching and rearing Triops successful step by step! Triops Cancriformis needs a temperature of around 24 degrees to hatch, and later 19-23 degrees. I'm using a water mixture of 70% distilled water and 30% Mineral Water.

Totally random fact that I only found out because a triop ended up in a sea monkey kit I had as a kid, but they love to eat brine shrimp lol
Ok 🧐
I wonder how that triop egg got in there lol
@@chandranapier2259not op but I bet the company worked with both species and somehow an egg got exchanged
They are Omnivores
triops are fresh water. brine shrimp is salt water. how is that a fact that you hatched triops in salt water?
Triops´s exo-skeleton consists of calcium, which they can consume if you leave thier old skin in the aquarium, or if you leave cuttlebone in there. When triops shed, they grow. But if triops dont have a readily available source of calcium, they wont grow as big. This is why I reccomend leaving thier old skin in the aquarium after they shed.
Thanks for your comment!
You're right, of course, but with me the Triops shed their skin so often that there are tons of skin lying around / swimming in the aquarium. And then I always remove only the roughest so that the aquarium is not so dirty. I don't get all of it anyway, and hopefully there'll be enough left inside :)
@@Stachli Ah, okay :) I never knew tripods grew that fast haha! Sadly, I´ve never come aroud to keeping them, but someday maybie!
@@Stachli dirty is just our human perception, they seem to like it from my experience.
These guys were the first pet I ever had and I loved them, they grew big, and I took them to school for show and tell one day and they died from the cold. I was so upset and I gave them a funeral and buried them in the yard. RIP Triops. BTW Nice setup !
I just got some triops and this was very useful in the car me and my mother were laughing about how the package said "prehistoric sea monsters" and then said they grew to about 1-3 inches in the wild this video helped me alot with understanding what I'm getting into, thanks!
Thank you! :D And good luck with your triops 🍀
I grew these yrs ago, had no problems, used tap water, didn’t need any lights or glamour.....
Renewed my interest in them, bought kits, but can’t seem to get them to grow or thrive.... tried everything.
Gorgeous red baby's😍
Get a small air pump and get a bubbler in the tank. High oxygen levels do not hurt them, instead it increases their size slowly over time.
Mine grew to 5.7 inches compared to the first batch which was only 3
Oh ok - did it affect their lifetime too?
5.7 inches including or excluding the uropods?
@thomas burns yes.
@thomas burns and I thought Sherlock Holmes was the detective.
Jesus your comment wouldve made some people wink in this generation 😂@tommyq374
Lovely
I remember growing one when i was younger. Boy I cried when herb died.
Are they always pink or they get darker? Great video btw, love the music choice
Don't recommend removing the sheds as they can eat them to regain some calcium and minerals
True, but when there are so many, that they start to make the water turbid - i always remove some of them.
Even if i dont have to :D
I grew some of my own in a 16oz mason jar. I posted a video
Hello !
When they are big enough to place them into the big tank , the water still has to be 70% distilled water and 30% Mineral water ?(in the big tank)
Thank you , In advance🙂😊🐬🐋
Or just Mineral water?
No, thats only necesseray for them to hatch. Later you should only add mineral water or tap water.
If you have soft tap water at home, the eggs would maybe even hatch without distilled water. I wasn't able to try that myself yet, our tap water is too hard.
Good luck! :)
@@Stachli thank you very much!😁
Hi, what type of food were you using? I’m guessing the green powder was crushed spirulina. What is secondary food that you used? And do you know where I can get some? Thank you so much!
Hey :) Thats true, the first one was spirulina powder. But next, there are many different types of rearing feed/main feed, but most of them are similar. I use a certain food from a German manufacturer (aq4aquaristik) with which I`ve had good experiences so far. But I dont know whether they are also represented in your country or deliver there.
They aren't picky. Any small fish food will do. Many people feed them chunks of carrots 🥕
@@DUDeeThi , I wonder if you could help . I found an old kit in my shed and the tank , gravel and eggs all seem fine.
Only trouble is the food seems to have perished.
Can I still hatch them using an alternative food ? Or do I need special food to start them off ?
I don’t even plan to have some triops, but this video is so good I watched till the end
So cool 😎
Hi,
Your video was very like, thank you.
I heard that Triops eggs are very hard.
In the Japanese kit you put the eggs and a small amount of sand in a container and shake it for 2 minutes before putting it in the tank.
Will the eggs hatch without any stimulation?
They should hatch without the "shaking-stimulation". To be honest, thats the first time I even heard that :D
Which type of Triops is in the japanese kit?
@@Stachli Many Japanese triopid breeding kits include triopid eggs, sand, and a small piece of wood.
Most of the eggs in these kits are T. longicaudatus.
@@pkkra Oh ok, so the eggs and the sand come separate? In our kits they are already combined. I guess thats the only reason why you have to shake them. Its just to mix it together, and not for "stimulation" for the eggs
Cute
Schönes Video, wieviel Liter hatte das Nano Aquarium?
Danke!
20 Liter, aber eines mit 12 Litern reicht genauso :)
@@Stachli Merci👍
they always look lively
Masha Allah New friend
Wow, fascinating! Are these sea monkeys?
No, sea monkeys are brine shrimp and live in saltwater. They don't get nearly as big.
Hey, im just about to start this and i have 3 questions 😊
1. If they do not hatch, can i dry them out and try again?
2. Does the water need to be a distilled, spring mix? Is just spring ok?
3. If they hatch and lay eggs, how do i make them hatch?
Heyy 😊
1. Yes, you can. But if they don't hatch because there are simply no good eggs, they won't hatch the second time either.
2. The distilled water is for making the water more soft, because they wont hatch in hard water. If your spring water is soft enough you can use it alone, but thats very unlikely.
3. You wait until they all have died (They wont live longer than 4 months), then you remove the water and dry the sand.
Then you can start all over again.
@@Stachli thanks man 👍
@@Stachli any clue where distilled water can be purchased?
@@mrburnsthesexmachine2468 Here in Austria you can get it in pretty much every supermarket, drugstore or gas station for example. But maybe also depends on where you live.
@@Stachli thanks, does deionized water work as a substitute?
Im currently using a kit that I bought in a store, is the small tank that is included big enough for them to hatch? I’m planning on getting a larger tank
You can hatch them in the included tank, but you'll have to move them after some weeks if you want them to live their full lifespan :)
Good luck 🍀
@@Stachli thank you for an answer
What brand of mineral water did u use? are there any special things to take note when chooshing distilled water (like sodium and stuff) tx in advance :)
So cute👍🤗
Hello nice video firiend Thank you
Hello, I would like to build a bowl aquarium ecosystem (so, no filter, the bowl is big but not that big) and I was wondering if triops need a lot of swimming space and if they do well in room temperature water (around 13 - 20 Celsius I assume) and supposedly heavily planted environment to keep the water stable. Thanks!
Hey! Sure, that should basically work. But remember that Triops need sand to dig - so please don't completely cover the bottom with plants.
Also eggs won't hatch in an already eastablished ecosystem...
@@jmgalaxytab2325 THANKS, now I know what went wrong when I tried a small test group 😭
I got a question what type of natural spring water you used for the triops because I want to buy a proper water to make my own triops successfully hatch
I always used 70% distilled water and 30% tap water at the beginning. After they hatched I only added tap water. If your tap water is soft, you maybe dont even need distilled water at the beginning.
I never tried natural spring water.
@@Stachli though for my triops I’m not sure if natural spring water would work such as arrowhead though it does have calcium for the triops if I’m right because calcium is needed for them to grow though
@@ScotrailProductions1819 Thats true, depends on the water values of your tap water. Mine is almost like spring water, but if you are living in the city it could be a problem.
@@Stachli I live in a small city so I think that’s gonna be an issue
Though its not really big though it has like 1 petroleum factory and there’s a super market that’s where I got that natural spring water though could arrowhead be used to the triops
Should i dry hatch my duck eggs or should i wet hatch my duck eggs
What does this have to do with triops-
wow
what type of mineral water did you use ? Like companny
So I’ve seen a good amount of people feed carrots to these little fellas, should I?
Sure, if they eat it - just dont give them too much :)
Привет,я из России и тоже выращиваю триопсов. У меня есть Triops cancriformis, может мы могли бы устроить обмен по почте?
Very good video! Where did you find that water filter/tank set up?
Thank you! :) Do you mean the nano aquarium?
@@Stachli yeah its neat! And where did u get your eggs and food from? I cant find a supplier
@@topdaeh2672 Its from Amazon (Tetra AquaArt Discovery Line Aquarium 20l). The eggs and the food are from "Triops King". But there are many other sellers - depends on the country you are from.
Can you not incorporate these guys into a larger fish aquarium with other fish at some point?
Not really, they dont belong there - but I have never tried it tbh - maybe it will be ok in some cases.
Wow perfect 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🐓🐔🐓🐔🐔🐔🐣🐤
They look like they could be related to Horseshoe crabs.
question, does it work in like, these starter tanks? the shallow containers you get
They hatch, but die much too soon. Its just too small to keep the water quality stable :/
So would I just get a triops kit off the internet?
Sure, but they wont be able to live their full lifespan in the included tank - so you'll have to move them in a real and working aquarium after some time.
🤩😍
😚😁😁🤩🤩🤩🤩
Is it bad for them if the light is on 24h/24?
Yes
@@Stachli thanks for the answer, and the video :)
@@graciliraptor3990 thank you too :D
I finally got triops to hatch but then I had to go somewhere and they died
whos here because of hearing about a guy raising these in his abnormally large, deformed belly button and still having an infection 13 years after the fact?
What? 🤨
Wait what the fuck.
I wish they lived longer. It seems like to much messing about for a pet that lasts 3 months
I have triops 🤨😃😃
Mmm
It looks like a water roach.
They don’t reproduce ? 3 months sucks smh
They do! you have to move them to a bigger tank with some type of “non-colored/dyed” gravel. Its so they can bury there eggs, if there’s nowhere to bury them they get eaten!
You move them to a bigger tank so they grow to be adults! After they lay there clutches and parish, you drain the tank, dry it out COMPLETELY,
Fill back up with water, and enjoy your next generation of Triops..
@@ticketsplease5515 you want to use samsonite black sand. So you can see where they bury the eggs. They will bury their eggs in sand not gravel.
What kind of sand is that? Where do you get it?
Thats the sand I've had the best experiences with ://amzn.eu/d/fqIOMqN
