the triop that is deformed is not deformed. you have there is a male triop. very rare than the rest. the ones with their shell pointed up are females.
This was a great video! My daughter is all about little creatures that are different. She loves spiders and zombies. She just got this for Christmas and I tried (failed miserably) to help her set up the tank/aquarium but I guess the temp wasn't "perfect" so the eggs never spawned. This video was very informative for my 5yr old and I, so thank you so much for posting this. I got a little irritated with some people's previous comments and their ignorance. You guys did a GREAT job and I would hop
those dots you see of are actually called, "Daphnia" which are like water larvae? i guess. i had two of these in my tank which could also be food for the triops.
They're eggs are actually just about microscopic. You can collect them by drying out the substrate the triops lived with then rehydrating it. (preferably after cooling them off in your refrigerator )
I hate when people say aquasaurs or billabong bugs, or whatever. Also the specks with antennae are dahpina and those are good food but their population doesn't last long....
@TheHuntingPals Another excellent question, thp! Ours did not work the first few times. We found the KEY is to use as clean of water as possible (spring water is good), and if it's sink water - let the container sit for several days before putting eggs in. God knows why on earth that would be important?! This is true for fish aquariums as well. The water must sit and "distill" - that not only lets minerals fall to the bottom, but also the temperature MUST be right, ie: room temperature.

@won0312 These are excellent questions. I unfortunately have to tell you that no actual eggs were collected. When you get the Aquasaur package, its a pre-prepared little packet - just like sea monkeys. Once you get the "powder" (containing the eggs) into the water, they start to rehydrate, and the amazing part is that they still have life in them! Visitors should also know, this is not a long-term pet. No reproducing or continuation of the life cycle took place. They all died in 4-5 wks.
cool video it was great that triop (aquasaur) with the flat back is a very rare male triop you are lucky those sea monkeys are fairy shrimp and you have a daphina in there as well looking good thumbs up
Just an interesting fact, but did u know they found a creature in Ukraine very much like the creature described in this video, but this creature was far larger than 2 inches.There should be a vid here on utube called scientists baffled by giant shrimp in Ukraine.
i dont know what u other people see here but what i see is a smart young lady and her father spending some quality time together! It is great that she is taking an intrest in learning and that her dad spendsd time with his daughter and is involved in her life awesome vid. guy, i hope to see more videos from you!
@ChanFan03 Well thank you!! yea - this vid has been on here for I think 2 years, and my daughter has grown a lot since then. I appreciated the comments that were made but wish there were more constructive posts. I had to delete the REALLY bad ones - lol.
awesome vid. guys! and for all of you guys hating on this little girl jeesh! if you havent got anything better 2 do then pick on a little girl Pathetic! awesome job guys, hope your guyss "Aquasaurs" are doing great! :)
The species of animal is actually a triops longicaudatus which as we all know sounds like quite a mouthful and the specie has also been around for 70 million years and if we don't destroy their habitat they could last for another 500 million years.
@37123321abc This one was funny - and so constructive! If I had a dime for each video I hated, let's just say I could buy the Franklin Mint (and probably YouTube - lol) I'm leaving this here to show we enjoy a wide variety of opinions and don't discriminate.
Please, people! This is not rocket science. If you are going to post "duu - these are tripos" you may save your typing cause it's already explained clearly in the vid and also in most of the past posts! Thanks for wanting to contribute though!
ok let me explain all of this to you so the girl doesnt suffer
first of all triops (aka aquasaurus) go by many names. Triops is its shortened scientific name. The box said AQUASAURUS on the front so she called it by that name.
The creatures are fairy shrimp because sea-monkeys (Artemia NYOS) live in salty water. on the other hand triops live in fresh water. Fairy shrimp is the best food for triops so thats why theyre there.
trust me I know a lot about them (and im only 12)
Well know that we know that they are "TRIOPS" because it's been typed OVER AND OVER...
I think this young lady is adorable and did a great job...and congrats to her parent or who ever that is encouraging her to learn and explore new things.
It's obvious she is a very bright and confident young lady who enjoys learning! HOW GREAT IS THAT?
You should be very proud of her.....she is wonderful! I now want to get these for my Granddaughter who is the same way. So thanks for the tour!!
@rygysmom This was a great post! Thanks for the POSITIVE comment - my daughter & I appreciate it! So many visitors think "these are tripos" is the only thing to contribute - lol
Thanks to your daughters darling and informative video...I did get these for my granddaughter. I need to check and see how she is doing with them...She was cute , when I told her they don't live very long, she decided to do a few eggs at a time. Thanks again...I never would have thought to get this without your video.
the propper name is triops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 the fairy shrimps(or sea monkeys) are in there for the triops to eat, you should really learn more about sea-creatures!!!!!! the dots are daphnia
@tbivision We're the ones with the video here, bucko! If you know so much about tripos, feel free to make your own video! (lol - enjoy the entertainment)
@tbivision actually they are called triops longicaudatus she's only ten at least she spent time making a video showing people how to use the kit!!! Well Done Vanessa
the propper name is triops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 the fairy shrimps(or sea monkeys) are in there for the triops to eat, you should really learn more about sea-creatures!!!!!!
@tbivision why must you be so critical? She is just a kid. I really hope you are a kid yourself because I can not imagine such critical comment coming from a mature adult.
@fenerseven they commonly hatch with you triops cuz in order to get the triops that are sold in stores the actually breed horshoe crabs with seep monkys(fairy shrimp).
ermm.. i would appreciat you not playing with triops, the creatures that i love... The poor thing will never rest in peace now... : ( srry for the negative comment, you probobly worked hard on it :) the tank looks nice btw, love the volcano theme :D
i hav just started the aquasaur aquarium and put in the eggs, they hatched fine and all but do they eat all the bits that come with the eggs? because the bits still float at the top of that tank, when its time to feed themin afew days should wait for the bits to go or should i just feed them or should i take the bits out? please help.
when i got that kit only sea monkeys hatched!!! and get this, i did not notice them until after they gave birth meaning, i did not notice them until 4 WEEKS they did not eat for 4 weeks yet they sucsesfuly reproduced!!!
How did you identify them as T. launcauditus? Or does it say somewhere on the package? Its really hard for *me* to identify species of triops that i find in the wild.
those tiny "dots" are actually baby triops that they laid and in my manual it actually said sometimes triops are cannibals and ive seen my triop eat another its very creepy and the triops shed so that might be the skeletons ur talking about
Wow! what a good interview i got them for christmas and so far i have three of them and their really fun active animals to watch! But only if you knew if it was a boy or a girl and i bought a new tank cause this one for me doesn't look good. But i really enjoy them! <3
That "tea bag" you had to soak in the spring water is actual ground from a "pond" where Triops probably lived in. It contains all the stuff needed for a healthy ecosystem in the tank and it may sometimes contain eggs from other species and additional Triops eggs. What you call Sea Monkeys are not the real sea monkeys that come in kits as those live in salty water. Your "sea monkeys" are probably Fairy Shrimp and I can see Daphnies too. Daphnies are the small round-ish ones. Cool video!
Cool video!My sister and I watched this before we started raising our fish. It really helped us! Thanks! But I have one question. How hot or cold should the water be?
Vanessa speaks so well. This was very informative. It was great to see what these guys look like in action. I bought this for my nephews for christmas and now my anxiety about whether or not it makes a good gift is at ease.
... They're fairy shrimp. Not sea monkeys (brine shrimp). These "Aquasaurs" (triops) lay their eggs in the same region as the fairy shrimp and the eggs are often harvested together by accident.
@AbbyJaneLovesYou they are sea monkeys, fairy shrimp have longer fins close to the face than the sea monkeys, and they look more like a underwater dragon fly almost, if you have an active imagination like me.
We just made this makeshift table and an ordinary lamp for the video. The aquarium itself was bought at Toys'R'Us I think. It's really thin and flimsy, but it works!
These primitive creatures are ground into powder and sold in packets. As we researched this, we found that the various species go under a few different names.
omg be my friend im 10 to :D shel looks 10 like me :3 im not lieing im 10 and i have a youtube account i wen igrow up i wanna research mirean life! :D im gunna subscribe to you and send me a friend request plz and im asking my mom for some of these! :D
I have read up on brine shrimp, fairy shrimp, sea monkeys, (etc) and they are all soooo similar, I found out they are all genetic variants - scientist have been hard at work breeding and cross-breeding to get the right formula for these things...
The "sea monkeys" in your tank you called ar actually fairy shrimp, streptocephalus texanus. They live together with triops longicaudatus, cyzicus texanus and daphnia.
I hate the names like sea monkeys, sea dragons, dinosaur shrimp, aquasaur or martian alians or something...
The Sea Monkeys are evidently in the same packet. Either they put them there [on purpose] to serve as some kind of food source (my best guess) OR, they just occur naturally along with the other creatures...
Yes, we are reading from a paper, and YES we are aware they are [also] called Triops. Thank you all for for the original, positive comments to our video!
theyre triops and those little dot are water fleas witch are a food source for triops and the sea monkeys are for food and for cleaning the algae they eat algae.
the triop that is deformed is not deformed. you have there is a male triop. very rare than the rest. the ones with their shell pointed up are females.

... They're fairy shrimp. Not sea monkeys (brine shrimp). These "Aquasaurs" (triops) lay their eggs in the same region as the fairy shrimp and the eggs are often harvested together by accident.

@AbbyJaneLovesYou don't triops eat brine shrimp xD. i dont think the brine shrimp is to play with xD

@AbbyJaneLovesYou they are sea monkeys, fairy shrimp have longer fins close to the face than the sea monkeys, and they look more like a underwater dragon fly almost, if you have an active imagination like me.

We just made this makeshift table and an ordinary lamp for the video. The aquarium itself was bought at Toys'R'Us I think. It's really thin and flimsy, but it works!

actually triops devour sea monkeys like potato chips and chew them into pieces

These primitive creatures are ground into powder and sold in packets. As we researched this, we found that the various species go under a few different names.

Those aren't "Sea Monkeys" (brine shrimp), they're fairy shrimp -- a related genus that grows a lot bigger.

or called triops
kchomer1 2 years ago
Triops are the "aquasaurs" there is also fairy shrimp in there. I think they put them is for food when the Triops get big enough.

I have read up on brine shrimp, fairy shrimp, sea monkeys, (etc) and they are all soooo similar, I found out they are all genetic variants - scientist have been hard at work breeding and cross-breeding to get the right formula for these things...

The "sea monkeys" in your tank you called ar actually fairy shrimp, streptocephalus texanus. They live together with triops longicaudatus, cyzicus texanus and daphnia.
I hate the names like sea monkeys, sea dragons, dinosaur shrimp, aquasaur or martian alians or something...
Think about... why does the triops you show died?
Im german, sorry for bad english.

In the book, it says that the Triops has a short life cycle of only a few weeks. (Makes the perfect gift AND perfect pet!! haha)
As for the sea monkeys - this special variant species of brine shrimp - they also go by the scientific name: Artemia NYOS

How do triops and fairy shrimp live together? aren't fairy shrimp salt water and triops fresh water?Hmm.

The Sea Monkeys are evidently in the same packet. Either they put them there [on purpose] to serve as some kind of food source (my best guess) OR, they just occur naturally along with the other creatures...
