Raising Triops Cancriformis | How to Hatch Triops

[@WatchingCrow]

Totally random fact that I only found out because a triop ended up in a sea monkey kit I had as a kid, but they love to eat brine shrimp lol

[@Stachli]

Ok 🧐

[@chandranapier2259]

I wonder how that triop egg got in there lol

[@Turtisland]

@@chandranapier2259not op but I bet the company worked with both species and somehow an egg got exchanged

[@whiteshitwteeth]

They are Omnivores

[@davebuster8575]

triops are fresh water. brine shrimp is salt water. how is that a fact that you hatched triops in salt water?

[@PastelTheAereis]

I just got some triops and this was very useful in the car me and my mother were laughing about how the package said "prehistoric sea monsters" and then said they grew to about 1-3 inches in the wild this video helped me alot with understanding what I'm getting into, thanks!

[@Stachli]

Thank you! :D And good luck with your triops 🍀

[@thecreativestudio9557]

Triops´s exo-skeleton consists of calcium, which they can consume if you leave thier old skin in the aquarium, or if you leave cuttlebone in there. When triops shed, they grow. But if triops dont have a readily available source of calcium, they wont grow as big. This is why I reccomend leaving thier old skin in the aquarium after they shed.

[@Stachli]

Thanks for your comment! You're right, of course, but with me the Triops shed their skin so often that there are tons of skin lying around / swimming in the aquarium. And then I always remove only the roughest so that the aquarium is not so dirty. I don't get all of it anyway, and hopefully there'll be enough left inside :)

i have a triop hatchery set up as I'm typing this, and I have a light and a heating pad their water is the perfect temperature. I added leaf litter to release tannins to protect them from harmful bacteria and now I'm waiting for them to hatch.😀😀😀😀 Love The Video -Me

[@BobTrygard-yz9xe]

These guys were the first pet I ever had and I loved them, they grew big, and I took them to school for show and tell one day and they died from the cold. I was so upset and I gave them a funeral and buried them in the yard. RIP Triops. BTW Nice setup !

[@susansusan6612]

I grew these yrs ago, had no problems, used tap water, didn’t need any lights or glamour..... Renewed my interest in them, bought kits, but can’t seem to get them to grow or thrive.... tried everything.

[@peterszacsky1829]

Hello ! When they are big enough to place them into the big tank , the water still has to be 70% distilled water and 30% Mineral water ?(in the big tank) Thank you , In advance🙂😊🐬🐋

[@peterszacsky1829]

Or just Mineral water?

[@Stachli]

No, thats only necesseray for them to hatch. Later you should only add mineral water or tap water. If you have soft tap water at home, the eggs would maybe even hatch without distilled water. I wasn't able to try that myself yet, our tap water is too hard. Good luck! :)

[@peterszacsky1829]

[@joshuaburbulys6532]

Hi, what type of food were you using? I’m guessing the green powder was crushed spirulina. What is secondary food that you used? And do you know where I can get some? Thank you so much!

[@Stachli]

Hey :) Thats true, the first one was spirulina powder. But next, there are many different types of rearing feed/main feed, but most of them are similar. I use a certain food from a German manufacturer (aq4aquaristik) with which I`ve had good experiences so far. But I dont know whether they are also represented in your country or deliver there.

[@thomasneal9291]

They aren't picky. Any small fish food will do. Many people feed them chunks of carrots 🥕

[@leeetchells609]

​@@DUDeeThi , I wonder if you could help . I found an old kit in my shed and the tank , gravel and eggs all seem fine. Only trouble is the food seems to have perished. Can I still hatch them using an alternative food ? Or do I need special food to start them off ?

[@pkkra]

Hi, Your video was very like, thank you. I heard that Triops eggs are very hard. In the Japanese kit you put the eggs and a small amount of sand in a container and shake it for 2 minutes before putting it in the tank. Will the eggs hatch without any stimulation?

[@Stachli]

They should hatch without the "shaking-stimulation". To be honest, thats the first time I even heard that :D Which type of Triops is in the japanese kit?

[@pkkra]

@@Stachli Many Japanese triopid breeding kits include triopid eggs, sand, and a small piece of wood. Most of the eggs in these kits are T. longicaudatus.

[@Stachli]

@@pkkra Oh ok, so the eggs and the sand come separate? In our kits they are already combined. I guess thats the only reason why you have to shake them. Its just to mix it together, and not for "stimulation" for the eggs

[@jackepong6300]

Get a small air pump and get a bubbler in the tank. High oxygen levels do not hurt them, instead it increases their size slowly over time. Mine grew to 5.7 inches compared to the first batch which was only 3

[@Stachli]

Oh ok - did it affect their lifetime too?

[@coppersuraniumden1985]

5.7 inches including or excluding the uropods?

[@Tina_99art]

Hello, I would like to build a bowl aquarium ecosystem (so, no filter, the bowl is big but not that big) and I was wondering if triops need a lot of swimming space and if they do well in room temperature water (around 13 - 20 Celsius I assume) and supposedly heavily planted environment to keep the water stable. Thanks!

[@Stachli]

Hey! Sure, that should basically work. But remember that Triops need sand to dig - so please don't completely cover the bottom with plants.

[@jmgalaxytab2325]

Also eggs won't hatch in an already eastablished ecosystem...

[@Lalaroosje]

Im currently using a kit that I bought in a store, is the small tank that is included big enough for them to hatch? I’m planning on getting a larger tank

[@Stachli]

You can hatch them in the included tank, but you'll have to move them after some weeks if you want them to live their full lifespan :) Good luck 🍀

[@Lalaroosje]

@@Stachli thank you for an answer

[@mrburnsthesexmachine2468]

Hey, im just about to start this and i have 3 questions 😊 1. If they do not hatch, can i dry them out and try again? 2. Does the water need to be a distilled, spring mix? Is just spring ok? 3. If they hatch and lay eggs, how do i make them hatch?

[@Stachli]

Heyy 😊 1. Yes, you can. But if they don't hatch because there are simply no good eggs, they won't hatch the second time either. 2. The distilled water is for making the water more soft, because they wont hatch in hard water. If your spring water is soft enough you can use it alone, but thats very unlikely. 3. You wait until they all have died (They wont live longer than 4 months), then you remove the water and dry the sand. Then you can start all over again.

I got a question what type of natural spring water you used for the triops because I want to buy a proper water to make my own triops successfully hatch

[@Stachli]

I always used 70% distilled water and 30% tap water at the beginning. After they hatched I only added tap water. If your tap water is soft, you maybe dont even need distilled water at the beginning. I never tried natural spring water.

[@ScotrailProductions1819]

@@Stachli though for my triops I’m not sure if natural spring water would work such as arrowhead though it does have calcium for the triops if I’m right because calcium is needed for them to grow though

@@ScotrailProductions1819 Thats true, depends on the water values of your tap water. Mine is almost like spring water, but if you are living in the city it could be a problem.

They do! you have to move them to a bigger tank with some type of “non-colored/dyed” gravel. Its so they can bury there eggs, if there’s nowhere to bury them they get eaten! You move them to a bigger tank so they grow to be adults! After they lay there clutches and parish, you drain the tank, dry it out COMPLETELY, Fill back up with water, and enjoy your next generation of Triops..
