For those that keep posting this stuff, the tank is not dirty. A certain amount of algae is unavoidable and does the triops no harm. The detritus at the top of the tank the triops like, it recreates their natural habitat and they will filter through it for food.
@2029mom they are kind of white/clear. Depending on the eggs you buy, you might see all kinds of stuff to begin with. After a few days you should notice a triop or two, they will be a distinct shape and move quicker and more deliberate than the rest. They are working their way to the top of the food chain by eating everything else!
@hardasrock12 if u want to hatch them try distilled and if u are using that use natural spring water. us a lamp to keep the temp at 22c and thats about it they will hatch in 1-5 days
@yohiwasupman they lay eggs on their own they dont even need to mate! once they die just dry out the tank but dont clean it then fill it up with water again and just do wat u did to hatch ur first lot and some more should hatch :)
I'm gonna get my triops eggs on Dec.16,2011!I would need help... :3

Do they just automatically breed or is there something you need to do so that I won't have to keep buying the eggs lol.
