@jameswildones Did you use a conditioner? And did you wait 1-2 days before you added the eggs? Also, the babys are like really, really, REALLY small. Maybe you just overlooked them?

@CSK8productionz1 dude they are real pets
The kit says not to put anything in the tank, but thats obviously not a necessary rule. What can go in the tank?

@BroZoneUnited You should have absolutely nothing but distilled water and the eggs before hatching time. After they hatch you can slowly add a little bit of water from an intact aquarium every day. Another way is to add this tea bag thing that comes with the kit. If you want to pot your Triops in an aquarium, make sure you slowly adjust them to the new water conditions.

@CSK8productionz1 I messed up the first time too. Keeping the water conditions right isn't easy. Triops live short and fast. They eat a lot and produce a lot of waste. The water needs to keep populations of different bacteria and other organisms (microbes, plants/algae, etc.) to transform the waste into (eventually) oxygen. Google it!
Rule of thumb: 2 liters of water per Triops. Bigger tank = more stable water.
