Just set mine up today for the first time so wish me luck, did not bother with the instructions that cam with the kit, followed the tips online, so i hope is see some tomorrow, Got my tank and Hatchery all set up, And my desk lamp and thermometer , Trying to keep the water at the right temp.
what?! shorly there to big to be only 1 day old??? mine are 1 day old and are tiny granes of sand moving an gurking,but i need a magnafing glass to see them,do you use a magnafing class?
I once hatched these and they got about 3 times as big. After I ran out of food for them, they started to eat each other (poor guys). The moral of this story is be sure to have enough food.
@slobbberboy did you know you can feed them carrots so you can feed them carrots flys worms lettice and other food go to the triops website and find out
i have triops i brougth from argos and the eggs dont look like eggs will they hatch ? the eggs look like randomley cut little tiny bits of hay ?? will they hatch
Mine are doing well there are 5 of them in their so im going to start putting carrots and stuff in to make them grow larger, however my dad says it will fowl up the water.
You shouldn't put Triops in a big tank before the 8th day of hatching, they'll die trying to look for their food, but if you have that many, I don't see the problem.
I need help I got my Aquasaurs ( Triops ) in delivery but theres ONE PROBLEM!! NO GRAVEL OR SAND!! How are my Triops suppose to breed if the females don't have sand or gravel to lay there eggs??? (its not the volcano one)
Hi doranchak! Yesterday midnight (17 hours before this posting), I opened my packet of triop eggs onto a container of water and left the container on my window so the sun can warm the water up to the temperatures of the lower to upper 90s (because in NYC, its 90 degrees to 98 degrees today). Do you believe this is a good method of hatching the triop eggs?
@kewlgoku1990 hi id like to answer your question...but first id like to ask a question...what kind of water did u use...and id recommend that u leave your triops in the low 70s to the high 80sit works best for me every time..by the way u should use distilled water
@GRCsniperops32 Hi GRCsniperops32!~ I used the American Choice Spring Water (1 Gallon) from Pathmark. Do you believe this was an good choice on my part?
@GRCsniperops32 I am in dier need of help. My triops hatched in the container of water placed next to the window panel in my home, but hours after hatching, some or most of them died yesterday. Today, they hatched and died. I am not entirely sure why. Can you share your method of hatching Triops? I would like to know for future hatchings.
@kewlgoku1990 sure,first i poured distilled water into a container(the amount will very on the size of your container),next i set the container with the water 10 in under a desk lamp four 12 hours (use the light as an artificial sun after they hatch),keep checking the temp of the water it needs to be within 74 to 86f. then put the eggs in use the light as an artificial sun..if u have any other questions just go to my profile...i hope this helps, by the way ill hav videos of my triops soon
I put my triop/s eggs in the water 2 days ago....nothing. I see the eggs on the bottom of the tank. It says it can take up to 72 hours. The water is the right kind and tempature. Why arn't thay hatching?
This going to sound stupid but i just got a set of Triops Granarius & black triops Sp and i just wanted to know what colour are the eggs because ive googled it and nothins comes up about the colour off the eggs when you get then
I put mine in in the middle of winter I just made sure I had a nice 60-100 watt lamp on em all day and made sure temperature was right. ITs day 3 and my triops are looking awesome.
i ave a question also. anyone who has experience with triops help me with this one question... does every egg ahve one triop? cuz i put 4 eggs and i dont know... will 4 triops grow? please answer! ty!
u know how when most animals have alot of babys most of them dont survive,but whne they have little they survive with a high %. well triops lay lots of eggs so those 4 eggs dont have a high % of hatching u should put half of ure eggs in the tank
Holy friggin damn thats a lot of triops!!! You got lucky! I dont even think I had that many eggs... I put half the container in one dish and half in another (in case one failed.) Im on hour 30 and can only see one triops inone of the dishes thus far under perfect conditions.
you need to put a certain amount of hatching nutrients for the certian amount of eggs you put. also is your water between 21 and 29 degrees celcuis? one of these may be the problem.
ive had triops for about three months...and about 100 hatched but stayed small. Now theres about 1000 triops ans they r still small...half even look different, plz any answers to what the hell is going on
This here an unnaturally large yield. On average 2- 10 hatch from a kit. The replacement egg kits are harvested directly from a pond and often contain the eggs of water fleas, fairy shrimp, and other micro organisms.
It's always a good idea to use distilled water as there are too many minerals in well water and too much chlorine in public water.
It takes 24 hours for them to hatch and don't move the tank around or the eggs will corner at the side of the tank and wouldn't grow. Oh, and don't use tap water
I was sent replacement triops eggs when my first set of eggs failed to hatch. The replacement eggs were very effective. Several dozen triops hatched. Maybe they were fresher eggs or something.
i'm not sure if I'm right but I think the last triop eggs you put in stuck to the edges of the tank. and when you put these in it hatched both batches at once
My triops havent hatched yet but I hope they do soon.
