True Story – as part of our childrens’ science cirriculum, we raised triops (they started out as a few, but only one cannibal survived)…and a rogue seamonkey got into the mix somehow. They both grew up together…one day as we were walking out the door…this is what we saw (well, an animated representation of what we saw). Video Rating: 3 / 5
Monkeys in Ubud on the island of Bali jumping in to a small pool. These monkeys jump time and time again even though it is raining outside. Funny, funny, monkeys.
I think my betta was bullying one of the ghost shrimp and killed him. The ghost shrimp laid motionless as I poked him and did not move when I net him up. Nor was he pink or white which usually meant they are dead, he was as clear as can be. I put him in the Triops tank, not wanting him to go to waste and as a Triops snatched him up I saw him move his swimmerets very weakly. I fell really bad now, but there was nothing I could do to save his life even if I took him away from the Triops. T_T Video Rating: 5 / 5
these little critters hatched about 2 weeks ago in water i was about to throw out as was stagnant and not looking like any of the triops were going to hatch, but wow these guys are really growing fast and so far…. fingers crossedf theres not been any losses through canabalistic behaviour as they are famous for eating each other, nice lol not these are so interesting and better than sea monkeys or brine shrimp in my opinion. so enjoy and look forward to your comments, please be nice though, cheers Triops cancriformis are not the same as the commonly sold Triops longicaudatus, a species which needs heated aquaria for raising. T cancriformis is happy in water that you’d keep your goldfish in 20 Celsius compared to 28 c for T Longicausdatus *No heaters required*. T cancriformis also happens to be the largest Triops species in the world with some individuals measuring in at a colossal 4.5 inches (11 cm) in length. To give a comparison, this giant out grows the common T longicaudatis by nearly double its size! Video Rating: 5 / 5
