They are vernal pool inhabitants in nature. It really lies in their nature aswell: Triops hatch in pools filled with rainwater, during spring there are sometimes rain storms that cause large puddles to occur. The eggs sense the fresh rainwater and start to hatch as the pool water starts to warm up during a warmer spring day. Several weeks / months later the colony has already naturally died or the pool slowly starts to dry out killing the last inhabitants of the tiny bit of water left. While they were in these puddles they released tons of eggs, just after two weeks of age. They will do so, on a daily basis and continue to do so till the very end sometimes. For this reason, they dont live in lakes or rivers, its a whole different type of " water inhabitant" if you look at it hahahah. I hope that sheds some light on the case 🙏

We had some triops a few years ago. It was our first time and our tank wasn't perfect but one triops lived for a long time, we named him Jerry. He was excellent and his very favourite thing was to be fed pellets with a pipette - my husband used to literally give the pellet to Jerry, and Jerry would get SO excited and then grab onto the pellet and gently sink, upside-down, to the floor. We loved Jerry.

@@digoshow1 You don't have to be a kid to appreciate these lovely little critters! I'm 75 years young, and I spent most of the afternoon in deep fascination, giggling like the fool that I am at their crazy antics. They just don't stop whizzing around, and boring they are not! The species hasn't changed in over 300 million years, proving that old saying: "If it ain't broke don't fix it!" so there's no point in further evolution! And I have recently learned that the eggs can lay dormant for over 70 years! Anyway, what a great video! 🤡🇬🇧
@@digoshow1 Yep! And today I ordered another three lots of Triops eggs for my grandkids. I've already sent them a video of the ones I have (they are only about 7 mm long at the moment) and they can't wait to see their own hatch, grow and whiz around like tiny funny and athletic creatures having fun! I have also ordered a few more Maribo algae/moss balls to provide oxygen and give the Triops something to cuddle up to and hide in. These little ecosystems appeal to small boys of all ages, including me. Great stuff!
I havent tried to keep them with shrimp, Tbh I think shrimpbabies might end up on the Triops Menu. I do have some Otocinclus fishies with my Triops and they can cohabitate with eachother very well!
After millions of years evolved to survive drying/dieing/hatching in the desert, Triops would have a high affinity for crevices. Cracks in rocks would be the best place to lay eggs or find organic debris.
Well look at that, guess life is in the smallest joys. You're joyful because you figured out how to keep these little guys going.. And they're happy with the abundance of carrot.
@@reeda5390 tens of millions is quite an understatement, they contest being one of the oldest groups around nearing 220 million yeas since they diverged from their ancestors.

The triops is digging in the narrow space under the wood because it needs the support. The reason for this is because they can't dig in pebbles, they're not strong enough. They need fine sand.
In case you cant find them, feel free to send me a mail on triassicparktriops@gmail.com for more info about egg sales 🙏 I offer high quality hand selected eggs 😉
Great video. How do you get so many triops at one time? I seem to have a pretty high infant mortality rate, not sure if its just natural and I am not using enough eggs or if it is cannibalism. I put about 20 eggs in a small hatching dish.
I usually raise colonies of 75ish Triops, I use multiple hatching units of 0,5L and a dedicated hatching tank (25L) before they enter the 60L. Naupliar loss is something i always witness, i guess this is Just survival of the fittest.
Hey Anna! Have a look trough my TH-cam video's or have a look on my Instagram: @triassic_park If you have specific questions, feel free to send them in 🙏
Its possible to use Tap-water but it must be de-chlorinated and treated to be okay. For hatching I can recommend boiled rainwater or indeed natural springwater!
Two weeks ago I'd never heard of triops. Now I'd like to have a breeding pair.🤔 Wait a sec! How do they reproduce and how prolific are they? How long do they live, and what happens when they die?
Hi Triassic Park Triops, my triop is swimming crazy. It is very rare for him to turn the right way up at all. He swims upside down and lays on his back on the sand at the bottom with his legs going crazy. 99% of his little life seems to be upside down! This has gone on for weeks. He has shed multiple times and is feeding/growing fine. Have you got any ideas as to what's causing it or is he just a weirdo? 😄 PS. Your set-up and triops are impressive and beautiful! I'm jealous in all the nicest ways 😊
Hello Jessica! If you have Instagram: feel free to send me personal message at @triassic_park with a small video of the behaviour, in case you dont have Instagram, feel free to send the video by mail to triassicparktriops@gmail.com Its hard for me to tell by text sometimes, the molting and regular feeding sounds great! Although you seem to witness problematic behaviour, wich definitely interests me to observe. If this is possible for you to do i'll try to give a detailed rap. Of what might be going on if the behaviour is similar to whats noted in my journal 🙏
Little bit of Foo the Flowerhorn energy. Needs more close-up shots of them eating, some relaxing music, and water changes to really get that energy flowing.
Wow...so Jurassic...I’d never seen them so big...questions: 1. Where do you get them 2. Is it easy to build an healthy environment for them? Water levels and all. 3 do the get really large?
1. You can order various of species from me by chat (FB: "Triassic Park Triops" , Instagram @triassic_park, Reddit u/triassic_park_triops) or mail triassicparktriops@gmail.com 2. Yes, it does require some learning but its possible with my tutorial video's for sure! Any fishkeeping or shrimpkeeping knowledge will help! 3. They can get an average size of 7cm / 2" 🙏 ( Cancriformis species are smaller, Longicaudatus and Australiensis a bit larger) ( Canc. = European, Longi = American and Austr. Is Australian)
Inside the Clementoni kit are: Longicaudatus Regular. In the video: This is a colony that "produced" the Triassic Park Triops Mystery Egg mix kit that I'm selling.

@@lorenheinzle8999 basically I could advise to check out the hatching method video +Transferring video. This is a good start, from there a optimal tank is key.
Fascinating and awesome video! How do you grow so many large triops all in one tank? When I usually grow them I end up with one big one because they eat all the others sadly.
A really rich daily feeding routine can sort out alot of cannibalistic problems. Providing them with enough space is another way to prevent higher levels of cannibalism
Do your tiops breed and if they do do you just keep the water? Im trying to figure out why they HAVE to have a dry period just to hatch.
They are vernal pool inhabitants in nature. It really lies in their nature aswell:
Triops hatch in pools filled with rainwater, during spring there are sometimes rain storms that cause large puddles to occur. The eggs sense the fresh rainwater and start to hatch as the pool water starts to warm up during a warmer spring day.
Several weeks / months later the colony has already naturally died or the pool slowly starts to dry out killing the last inhabitants of the tiny bit of water left.
While they were in these puddles they released tons of eggs, just after two weeks of age. They will do so, on a daily basis and continue to do so till the very end sometimes.
For this reason, they dont live in lakes or rivers, its a whole different type of " water inhabitant" if you look at it hahahah.
I hope that sheds some light on the case 🙏
The ones that were “digging” had clear egg pouches and were burying eggs. He probably does gather them occasionally.

Classical conditioning is amazing, the question is: at what age do these crustaceans recognize feeding time?
Thats a great question, usually after 1-2 weeks they are already known with the hand from the sky that brings food daily 🙏
Fact: triops can eat almost anything that’s edible to humans
Damn that’s crazy!
I love them! They are absolutely adorable
I found one of these creatures in my old books years ago
The triops is digging in the narrow space under the wood because it needs the support. The reason for this is because they can't dig in pebbles, they're not strong enough. They need fine sand.
Nice!
I still got some eggs somewhere. Got to find them, seeing this!
🔆
In case you cant find them, feel free to send me a mail on triassicparktriops@gmail.com for more info about egg sales 🙏 I offer high quality hand selected eggs 😉
@@TriassicParkTriops Cool thanks! I'll keep u in mind.
@@Hemp1972 awesome 👊
Same lol
@@TriassicParkTriops can you ship to México?
This is the first time I've seen triops since hearing about them as science project pet when I was a child, you have lovely tanks for them
Thank you very much 🙏
This is awesome footage! Thanks for sharing. Definitely had to subscribe.
Awesome! Thank you so much!
HOW COULD I NOT FOUND YOUR CHANNEL ALL THESE TIME. I LOVE IT MAKE A LOT A VIDEO.
Great video. How do you get so many triops at one time? I seem to have a pretty high infant mortality rate, not sure if its just natural and I am not using enough eggs or if it is cannibalism. I put about 20 eggs in a small hatching dish.
I usually raise colonies of 75ish Triops, I use multiple hatching units of 0,5L and a dedicated hatching tank (25L) before they enter the 60L.
Naupliar loss is something i always witness, i guess this is Just survival of the fittest.
@@TriassicParkTriops thanks for the response. How many eggs do you put in each hatching unit and how many triops typically survive in each unit?
@@gilb6643I'm sorry I didnt see your comment earlier I was on vacation, I Usually drop in around 200-300 eggs for a 75 ish Colony
@@TriassicParkTriops thanks
Oh my god these guys are stupidly adorable. So so cute
Baby carrots for baby triops :)
Did u cooked them before?
Yes they were cooked/boiled, after being washed first!
Yep those carrots should be parboiled before feeding to triops.
The reason they go for tight spaces is it gives them leverage to push stuff out of their way.
Oh my god i loooove them!! How do you take of them? I'd love some information
Hey Anna!
Have a look trough my TH-cam video's or have a look on my Instagram: @triassic_park
If you have specific questions, feel free to send them in 🙏
@@TriassicParkTriops will look through your videos, thanks. I'm not on Instagram, though..
Thanks so much, greetings from Germany xx
They look like something from the dinosaur period
They do
2:34 really made me chuckle
I've got a question I might be raising some triops and was wondering if they actually need natural spring water in their tank
Its possible to use Tap-water but it must be de-chlorinated and treated to be okay. For hatching I can recommend boiled rainwater or indeed natural springwater!
@@TriassicParkTriops Thank you I'm gonna do natural spring water I was just wondering :D
Popped up in my suggested today for some reason and I like.
You got another sub.
Welcome to : things i didn't know i enjoy watching!
the biggest triops i grew were maybe 2cm from a kit as a kid, didn't realise they grow so large, now i'm thinking to revisit them again
These guys are pretty cute in that size. Were they as big as my hand's palm, they become a big nope.
Any size is a no 😁
Two weeks ago I'd never heard of triops. Now I'd like to have a breeding pair.🤔 Wait a sec! How do they reproduce and how prolific are they? How long do they live, and what happens when they die?
These Shrimps looks like a miniature Trilobites! Too they're not related to the them nor the Horseshoe Crab.
they are pre historic crustaceans to
So glad I stumbled across this because I was wondering what a tank of troops would look like
Hi Triassic Park Triops, my triop is swimming crazy. It is very rare for him to turn the right way up at all. He swims upside down and lays on his back on the sand at the bottom with his legs going crazy. 99% of his little life seems to be upside down! This has gone on for weeks. He has shed multiple times and is feeding/growing fine. Have you got any ideas as to what's causing it or is he just a weirdo? 😄
PS. Your set-up and triops are impressive and beautiful! I'm jealous in all the nicest ways 😊
Hello Jessica! If you have Instagram: feel free to send me personal message at @triassic_park with a small video of the behaviour, in case you dont have Instagram, feel free to send the video by mail to triassicparktriops@gmail.com
Its hard for me to tell by text sometimes, the molting and regular feeding sounds great! Although you seem to witness problematic behaviour, wich definitely interests me to observe. If this is possible for you to do i'll try to give a detailed rap. Of what might be going on if the behaviour is similar to whats noted in my journal 🙏
@@TriassicParkTriops Thank you! I'll get a video tomorrow. My previous ones didn't do this so it feels a bit strange! :)
@@jessicataylor7174 allright! I'll look forward to the video and hope I can explain something more about it 🙏
@@TriassicParkTriops Thank you so much! I've sent the video by gmail, I hope it's adequate. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out! 😊
'oooh theres a sneaky one" that got me lol
Little bit of Foo the Flowerhorn energy. Needs more close-up shots of them eating, some relaxing music, and water changes to really get that energy flowing.
Noted! 🙏
I really like your video but i have one question what kind of water did you use ;;;
I love his voice! 😍
Sounds like a nerdy hot guy 🔥
I mean nerdy as in intelligent 🧠🤓
Wow...so Jurassic...I’d never seen them so big...questions: 1. Where do you get them
2. Is it easy to build an healthy environment for them? Water levels and all.
3 do the get really large?
1. You can order various of species from me by chat (FB: "Triassic Park Triops" , Instagram @triassic_park, Reddit u/triassic_park_triops) or mail triassicparktriops@gmail.com
2. Yes, it does require some learning but its possible with my tutorial video's for sure! Any fishkeeping or shrimpkeeping knowledge will help!
3. They can get an average size of 7cm / 2" 🙏 ( Cancriformis species are smaller, Longicaudatus and Australiensis a bit larger)
( Canc. = European, Longi = American and Austr. Is Australian)
I'm looking for buy triops pictures for my business.let's me know if you can sell it.
I can perhaps. You can send a mail to triassicparktriops@gmail.com for more information
Hey just ordered the kit. But was wondering what type of Triops are these? They're incredible!
Inside the Clementoni kit are: Longicaudatus Regular.
In the video: This is a colony that "produced" the Triassic Park Triops Mystery Egg mix kit that I'm selling.
It can contain:
-Longicaudatus Blacktail
-Longicaudatus Albino
-Australiensis Queensland Silver
-Australiensis Aurum Prototypes ( this is a selective bred color variety, bred by Triassic Park Triops) 🙏
@@TriassicParkTriops thank you. Do you ship to the UK? If my kit doesn't hatch, I'd like to request a batch of your Triops 🙂 Love that you're from Holland by the way 😁 I'm half Dutch 🙂
@@samanthafowler1626 awesome! Yes I do ship to the UK :) If you're interested: Request the December Sale list by sending an email at triassicparktriops@gmail.com
Awesome that you're half dutch aswell, how do you like my Dunglish accent? 🤣🤣
@@TriassicParkTriops i actually do, I understand your accent very well 👌 my family are from Rotterdam, but I have Scottish blood too. I've got a Dutch accent apparently.
Yes, definitely. What is your payment plan? Via PayPal or through a banking system on a website? I havent set my PayPal account up properly yet. But I will save your email. Bit worried the kit I bought from amazon may not have Triops in them as I've heard 😕
@@samanthafowler1626 I exclusively sell by Social Media chats and E-mail, the Idea of selling them as a product on a website isnt something I feel comfortable with, Yes it would save me tons of time but I rather have a chat with the new owner first. Im not exactly selling puppies, but I'd like to stay exclusive to truly interested people, by skipping the "selling toys" part. It might look like a clumsy way to order something, but it does always create a window to ask questions and learn a bit more before a customer decides to keep Triops 🙏
After an order has been placed: A PayPal link is sent to your e-mail. This was the easiest way for me to support lots of countries with an universal payment portal 🙏
My triops didn't grow that big and died after 1 month.
Aww, Feel free to ask your questions! I'll try to help you out!
Same 😥
Hi, thank you for offering to help me. I don't know what I did wrong, they always died after 1 month and maybe 3 cm tall. No one has become as big as yours in the video. Do you have any tips what I can do that they become as big as your triops. Say what you do it could help me.
How long does your triops live?
I'm happy about every tip.
Thank you for the help.
@@lorenheinzle8999 basically I could advise to check out the hatching method video +Transferring video. This is a good start, from there a optimal tank is key.
@@TriassicParkTriops can you send me a link for this video, please.
Fascinating and awesome video! How do you grow so many large triops all in one tank? When I usually grow them I end up with one big one because they eat all the others sadly.
A really rich daily feeding routine can sort out alot of cannibalistic problems.
Providing them with enough space is another way to prevent higher levels of cannibalism
Never knew what those things were before today. Thanks.
Take a sub.
Much appreciated 🙏 Feel free to stick around and enjoy the upcoming content
idk what these guys are but this is a relaxing video
