Hi Pete, hope all is doing well. As I remember, it is springtime in Australia right? We are in fall, going into winter. Well I messed with the detrius issue a...

Hey ya'll. ^^ Just writing to ask a general question to all the triops breeders out there. In a lot of the other pet hobbies, people have breed different...
Thanks Don, Great advice, pond water and plant material under a lamp for a few days sounds like the way to go, Would I be able to put a bit of this detritus ...

I donno if it can be done due to the lack of differences omong the species, I guess from assexual reproduction. brandon ... __________________________________ ...
I get really green water quickly too- 24 hr lites! When I added beach sand to one batch in a shallow foot long tank, I also got these weird mini-sea urchin...
My Aussie Triops did well, but they led a short life and are sadly feet up now, they lived long enough to drop eggs though, so now I'm in between batches now,...
Well that's disapointing...it would be cool to be able to create different colored triops. I would have thought there would have been a little genitic...
... I don't mind helping, and answering legit questions, the 'trolls' get to me sometimes but I just try to ignore them. Pete, if you have some detrius left,...
... I doubt that we can do much. The Triops have evolved over 300 million years and in that time have hardly changed at all. They seem to have very stable DNA....
... Why not try some food dye? I did. I tried some blue food dye and got a Triops l. which was kind of bluey-green in his abdomen section and 'nose'. But his...
Yup, I killed 'em. I was trying to cure the algae in the tank and I killed the poor little buggers. I was putting a capfull of peroxide (5%) in about every...
Hmmm...food dye...that just might work...my forth generation eggs from my triops tank are drying in my closet, when they're completly done I may hatch some and...
... Ouch. Algae is a normal issue found in new tanks that haven't established themselves biologically. Triops tanks are by their very nature "new" all of the...
... I use Polyfilter foam. It removes the nutrients that Algae need to grow. Plus I've got several Ramhorn snails in my tank. I also find that not feeding the...

I've seen scorpions and such preserved, but never a triops, I'm not sure if you would have to dry them out first, the ones I have dried out didn't look to good...
I was wondering if anyone here saves their filter media. Why? 'Cause it's surely got triops eggs in it. Think about it. If you have stirred up the sand on...

... Yes, but Triops eggs rarely hatch whilst still wet. Once you've removed the eggs from the filter, dried them out and then added water again. Then they...
