GreenWaterFarm Triops Red Longicaudatus Eggs for Hatching and Culture Suitable to be Pet and Science Project (Pure 200 Eggs)

Super pleased with this purchase. Definitely the correct or more amount of eggs.I really like I can try to hatch the amount of eggs I want.No, not all of the ones I put in hatched, but when I dry out the sand those eggs will most likely hatch next time.I got quite a few and they are getting big fast! Always hungry.Most are orange and one is grey?Not sure if this will help, but during hatching I kept it at room temp and used a "UV light for plants" at all time till they hatched. When using a regular lamp it did not work well for me.

I did these in 3 separate batches giving well over the date they were supposed to hatch, none did. I used my microscope and everything and there was no movement from day 9-20, it said they hatch in about 10 days. They are still in the tank it's been ages and still nothing. Very disappointed.

The eggs had a crazy high hatch rate, I hatched them out in 3 tiny ball jars and had a bunch of nauplii in each jar. They all hatched quickly and they were very plentiful. I made a mistake in not separating them early however, as they all cannibalized each other until only one remained, the beautiful little fella pictured. Triops tend to do that. Next generation I hatch, I will definitely separate them earlier, until they’re mature enough to live together. These are great eggs and I recommend em if you want to grow Triops that are a little more uncommon than the usual “normal” longicaudatus. Also I wish Greenwater Farms offered Triops cancriformis eggs!

No where near 200 eggs inside. Maybe 50 at best. The container is less than ideal, as static keeps the eggs stuck, so lost several of what little was in there trying to get them put. Hatch rate low, most died within a day.

I'm a very experienced aquarium expert with decades of practice raising fish and shrimp. I set up two different small tanks, good water, air stone, followed the directions perfectly. After multiple tries none of the eggs hatched from multiple purchases I made. Must have been a bad batch or exposed to high heat during transport or something. It was supposed to be a fun project for the kids to help learn with and they're bummed out it was a total failure.

I certainly didn't have 200 but about two dozen made it into about 1cm size. They are difficult to care for, especially if you don't have the setup. Babies cannot be cold, and your filter has to be turned off while they grow. Exoskeletons get to be gross, too, as they shed like very day. You must have air pumping, or they die. Ours died when my kid fed them too much and I forgot to take out the extra carrots in the evening. We woke up to tripos and carrot soup. Anyways, these eggs hatched just fine but they are high maintenance, so be prepared to deal with them. We did have a pair that survived to be about 5 cm in size each and they are great little entertainment, but I killed those when I added more water to tank upsetting something.

Well, the little critters hatched quite fast with the proper conditions, but careful daily count of the eggs after a month suggests around a 10% hatch rate... which is rock bottom for Triops (60% Max) and my setup is scientifically perfect for them. The box contains nothing but eggs, so any detritus, algae, or small aquatic critters that baby Triops need to eat are non-existent without going to more extreme measures such as gathering local pond water. Buy a kit unless you have all the necessary things for prime hatching conditions. But hey, at least they are actually eggs and not just dust, right?

The media could not be loaded. Did not expect to see one of these guys less than 10 hours after setting them up. I only put maybe fifteen eggs in to test so I'm delightfully surprised. I know a lot of people complain they don't live long but i will stick to the instructions and cross my fingers. So far I'm pleased.
