My Triops In Action

A few minutes of footage of my triops longicaudatus. I have 4 triops, they are about 2 weeks old at the time of uploading. There is also a fairy shrimp. Triops are really cool crustaceans or freshwater shrimps which have been on Earth for about 200 million years (they are the oldest living species of animal in the world today). They have 3 eyes; one is for looking for light to find their way around and the other two are for looking out for predators or food.

  1. cool video, I have triops as well :) . i don’t have a fairy shrimp though that must be rare, i thought that only clam shrimps and daphnia hatched out with triops. did u get these from a kit?

    yes i got the triop world kit but the tank that came with it was too small for all 4 of them so i moved them into a larger tank
