## Description

desertcart.com: GreenWaterFarm Triops Longicaudatus Eggs for Hatching and Culture Suitable to be Pet and Science Project (Pure 200 Eggs) : Toys & Games

Review: Excellent Hatch Rate - I purchased eggs on April 29, 2022 and received them in two days with prime shipping. After following careful instructions with kid kits for hatching triops and having no luck on more than one occasion, I decided to wing this batch. I floated a small clear dish (about 6-8oz, the little round ones sweet and sour sauce comes in when you get Chinese takeout!) in my established 75 gallon freshwater tank containing water from that tank so that it would stay a consistent 78 degrees farenheit. I opened the package and retrieved the small vial of eggs-- that vial is my only qualm about the product. I opened it and because of static, NONE of the eggs would dump out of the tube. I used a pipette to gently flush water into the vial several times over top of my little dish. Unfortunately even this was not very effective and the force I had to use to jet water into the vial caused some of the eggs to end up in my 75 gallon tank. I recollected all I could and put them back into the dish. It was nearly 10 minutes of me fighting to actually get all of the eggs out of the vial. I'm not fully convinced there were 200 eggs in the vial, but I can say with confidence that there looked to be at least 150 eggs in the batch I received. Maybe it was 200. It's incredibly difficult to count them. My tank used to be planted so I have an Oddysea plant light on the tank. I don't know if that matters. I turned the light on so the eggs would be floating directly under a bright light. It has been exactly 24 hours and I just checked the dish... there were SO MANY baby triops swimming in the dish! I went and found four more little dishes and I used a pipette to transfer some of the babies into each dish to help reduce predation. I sucked up and transferred a total of exactly 65 baby triops into my other four dishes and I left approximately 20 baby triops (these I did not individually count with the pipette, just counted by eye) in my original dish. So I currently have about 85 baby triops exactly 24 hours after placing these eggs into water. That's over a 40% hatch rate and with a critter people frequently get a >10% hatch rate with, I'm pretty excited about that rate. And I imagine it's possible that more may continue to hatch, it has only been 24 hours. After spreading the babies across 5 containers total, I crumbled up several tiny pellets of food that I had from a kid triop hatching kit. I mixed the crumbs with water and used my pipette to gently flush crumbles around in each of the containers. As soon as a baby made contact with the food, they clung to it. I'm not sure if this was feeding or resting behavior, but they enjoyed the addition of the crumbles either way. Tomorrow at 48 hours, I will separate more babies as needed, use my pipette to remove any food waste, siphon a tiny amount of water out of each dish, use the pipette to flush some new fresh water into each dish/aerate the water, and then I will offer the babies a new round of food. I plan to repeat this until they get large enough that I can transfer them into a small tank with a sponge filter. Unfortunately I only set up a 2 gallon tank for these guys because I only expected to hatch 1-2. Realistically, only a couple of the ones I hatched will actually get any size to them so the 2 gallon might not be a bust yet. But if even 5+ make it, we're going to need to upgrade to at least a 10 gallon. I will try to update regarding the success I have with these little guys. But in regards to the product itself, I'm very satisfied with these eggs. They are definitely fertile, and they definitely have potential for a decent hatch rate if given proper conditions. My prior attempts I used distilled water, 70 degrees Farenheit and eggs from kid's kits and never had luck. This time I used water from an established freshwater fish tank (roughly 6.8 pH), 78 degrees Farenheit, and a bright light and had good luck within 24 hours. I know these guys are pretty short lived overall. I will definitely purchase eggs from this company again, and next time I might attempt to hatch only half of the eggs at a time so I have less predation and can enjoy the little guys more than once.
Review: Triops for invertebrate class - Many bought, none hatched - I purchased these guys for my invertebrates class late January and was able to attempt to hatch them the first week of February. Unfortunately, none of them hatched. I had them in 4 controlled growing environments and none appeared to survive. With the use of treated water from our lab, time controlled full spectrum lights, and varied tank sizes, none have hatched. One was set with detritus for available food yet none are available for observation. To say the least, I am very disappointed that we had no arthropods available for our last topic of crustaceans and the class ends tomorrow. I intend to find a different source for next semester.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Could I please get more eggs? I followed the directions and nothing happened.**
A: Wait.  Everytime I hatch these I think it did not work.  Took 3 weeks this last time to be able to see the animals easily.  In the beginning they will look like dust floating in the water.  Easiest to see in the dark with a light shining into the tank.    If your triop makes it to adulthood it will shift the sand and lay lots of eggs.   I empty the take almost fully and then use a coffee filter to catch the sand/eggs.  Let sand dry 100%.  Then you can start again.  The eggs should hatch.

**Q: What's the difference from the Red Triops kit?**
A: Hello
It is only different specie.

**Q: Are these freshwater triops ?**
A: Yes

**Q: I ordered 2 sets of eggs and neither of them hatched. Can i get replacements? I can provide order numbers**
A: Still no hatch

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far, so good!
*by H***R on February 5, 2025*

It has been 3 days since I started to hatch the triops and I can see at least 5 little babies swimming around! I'll let y'all know what I did, and hopefully this can help some future buyers have success as well! The first thing I did is I used fishtank water from one of my freshwater aquariums. I put about 2 inches worth of aquarium water in a Tupperware container (roughly 6×3" rectangulr at roughly 3" height) and used some paperclips to fasten the container to the inside of the fishtank. The container was still floating so the triops would be contained just in the container, and not the aquarium as they are too small for a couple weeks! This way, their water was submerged and maintain the same temperature as the aquarium and will also be recieving the proper amount of light to get them to hatch. It is also much easier to monitor them this way. This aquarium is also the one they will be living in once I feel they are ready to go in :) so once they are ready. You just fish them our and plop them in! I then dumped in about 10-15 eggs (I'm not sure the exact number, but it wasn't much! As I still have so much left even though it almost seems like there were maybe 15 eggs in the whole thing, trust me, they're there and i still have so much left!!) But so far I've counted 5 hatched and keep seeing a new one almost every time I check! To have these little guys thrive, I would recommend having an already started and fully cycled mature aquarium in which they will be living in once large enough to move them! That fishtank water has a ton of tiny microbes for them to feed on when they're microscopic for the best hatch rate and growth and seeing the most survive and thrive! I'll try to remember to add an edit/update to this review if I have any important updates!
