Hi all, I am new here. I found this group while doing some research on live fish food culture. Has anyone used Triops as live fish food? or can Triops be used...
... response: Triops as fish food???? Ahhhhhhh.....lalallalala I can't hear you. (fingers in ears) (Many of us consider triops as our little friends--we grow ...
A person who raises seamonkeys might find feeding them to baby fish harsh.... A person who raises triops might find it harsh to feed them to fish... and triops...
... You don't understand the anatomy of Triops. These invertebrates are virtually blind, rely on vibration and smell to find their food. Their mouth is 2mm...
You are underestimating Triops. I have personally watched a large specimen swoop into the water column, catch a large, live fairy shrimp (1 inch long) and bite...
I've seen my triops attack one another and I know that others have too. I had to watch helplessly as 3 of my triops ate each other alive, as they were too...
Regardless of the attack-capabilities of the triops, IMHO they would make a poor fish food source due to their growth rate, and propensity to be cannibalistic...
I'd agree: the purpose of raising Triops is not as fishfood, the effort to output ratio is just not very good. It seems a strange post to ask about Triops as...
... People are odd. In America they use goldfish as food to other fish even though Goldfish has got a chemical in it which destroys a vital vitamin. Feed too...
I guess I did *not *know that "they" tried to feed Triops to people. What is the story, pray tell! Was this during a war, or depression, or what? Seems you...
I heard that Aboriginies ate large T. Australiensis....It was on some random article so I don't really believe that they got to a big enough size to serve as a...
... Duh, they'd eat more than one of course.... :-) If you're hungry enough you'll eat anything. In South America, Africa and China invertebrates are a common...
American indians use to eat triops in the SW USA, then there was a project in Africa to raise triops as a food source to alleviate famine, it failed as they...

Use a turkey baster (or something similar) to take 1 oz of water out of the 5 gal tank and put it in the container the triops are currently in, wait 1 hour and...
Good advice! The key is very gradual transition from one environment to the other, and care taken to make the two environments as similar to each other to...
Sorry if this has already been answered, I'm new here. I just got some triops eggs, and I'm getting a tank ready for them. Everything I'm reading says they...
Thanks!! Ive blocked out tomorrow to do this. I only got 3 out of my batch I stared on Monday or Tuesday. This is my 4th time trying to get my "kids" to lay...
Yeah, I'd like to know who they tried to feed triops to also! LOL And yeah we do eat invertebrates....shrimp and lobster. ;-) Well, I don't, personally,...
LOL!! I think chitin binds to fat, if I'm not mistaken, so if the starving Africans were eating all that chitin, they wouldn't be absorbing much of the vital...
... Triops nauplii/young triops could be a possible food source...if that is any easier than rearing fairy shrimp. ... [Non-text portions of this message have...
No gravel will not work will. Sand will be fine though. Just make sure it doesn't have any salt! it will kill the triops. The blue sand will work if it doesn't...
