Triops?

[Traxolotl]

How many people keep triops and if so how do u keep them?

I've kept them a few times, and I'm going to see if my dried sand has any eggs when the weather warms up.

I keep mine in a long glass dish with tall sides (it originally held floating candles). I put sand and fine gravel in the bottom, and use Crystaline bottled water for them to live in.
I still have a packet of triops food that came with a set, but I have been told that they can eat granular fish food and bits of grated carrot.

I get quite aggravated with their short life span, but they are hugely amusing when they are alive

Well i have mine in a small tub while they hatch. the first one hatched around 12hrs. and i guess they will go in a pretty wide 12 litter tub when they start getting bigger. So i guess ima put sand and gravel in there for them.
