Hatching Triops Eggs - A Reliable Method

Hatching Triops Eggs step by step. This is the most reliable method I've used so far for hatching triops. Basically you hatch the triops eggs in a small hatchery container first, then after a week or so move them over to the final tank. That way you can control the temperature easier if you are using a lamp, and also the baby triops can find their food faster and grow quicker.

How do i get oxygen in the tank?o.o (I have a small one)

[triopsguys]

@DogStyle1234 The first thing is to shake up the bottle of water for 5 minutes before pouring it into the tank.

You can also use something called a "airstone." Basically it's a small pump connected by a air tube to a stone with lots of holes in it. You put the stone into your tank and it shoots little bubbles into tank. You can find them at walmart or petsmart, etc.

Hey i have tried to hatch these things quite a few times and i have used multiple different packets (they are from hobby lobby). I use nestle pure life water and keep the water temp at 75 degrees but they never hatch. can you please help me?

[triopsguys]

@MrGiggity365 The only thing I can think of is try using distilled water...possibly the pure life water has some mineral content in it. If they still don't hatch I would contact the company and tell them your eggs didn't hatch and you followed the directions completely...they should send you a replacement.

Maybe try only half the package with the distilled water to see if they hatch???

@PokemonWhito I buy 10 gallon tanks at walmart for $13 bucks or so, go to the fish section.

@KiptayIsFluffy PS 10 gallon tank is 13 bucks at walmart.

@KiptayIsFluffy 1-2 months, it depends on a lot of conditions. I personally think that the bigger the water tank you have them in the longer and larger they grow. Also I heard of a few experiments where people put bubblers (they are for fish tanks, you can get a cheapo one that works plus a airstone for like 5-10 bucks i think) in the tanks and supposedly the extra oxygen helps them a lot.

With that Smithsonian kit I HIGHLY recommend you try and get a bigger tank!

@zac0964 You need to keep the water warm so microwaving it isn't a good idea since it will just cool down after.

[triopsguys]

@pacosw1 Yeah I know the kit you are talking about. Do you have a lamp above it for heat?

No matter what don't throw anything away yet, you can always dry the sand and eggs and try re-hatching again. Let me know your situation now.

@PokemonWhito use the 60 watt, 100 is too much. put the strip thermometer into the water otherwise you'll get a wrong reading cause the lamp is hot. just make extra sure your lamp isn't going to tip over or anything. IF THE WATER IS at least 74 in the daytime then you can turn it off during the day!!!
