The experiment was a resounding failure :/ What makes me even more annoyed is I no longer have any more triops eggs lol. But what makes me happy is I can try...
... I think that moulting is improved if the water has some calcium dissolved in it and some Iodine. All aquatic creatures with a shedding carapace seem to ...

I've been keeping a fancier, larger-leafed version of duckweed and water lettuce in with my triops for generations now. When the Triops are about 1/2-1 inch...
... Yes of course. But the trick is to keep Duckweed down to a safe limit. :-) Plenty of other floating plants which don't reproduce so fast. -- Stuart...
... Got a picture of this tank? Why not put it on the Mytriops Gallery? To empty my wee tanks I either use a old vending cup or a small standard Aquarium...
... Interesting point on boiling the water. I forgot that in CO2 making using yeast solutions, they often talk about having a bacteria free container. So I...
