My First Triops Day 3-7

You can all watch them grow with me ^^ So today is actually day 8 for them, but in my last video I went from day 1-3 and now I’ve done day 3-7 using the same song! Its amazing thinking that just over a week ago it was a little egg ^^ Squiggles has started to be a lot more active, I’m guessing its just because he/shes growing lol. But its very interesting to watch! ^^ As I said at the end of the video, my smaller triop died, I’m guessing Squiggles killed it, but obviously I’m not certain! I have a few plans for Squiggles…there are a few risks but being a beginner Squiggles is like an experiment to see if I can look after them and to find out what I can and can’t do! I thought I’d lost him/her once and to be honest I don’t really want to loose him/her for real…but obviously they don’t last long and I need to experiment a bit so I can get it right in the future! My plan is to put Squiggles into a bigger tank which I bought the other day! It is long so has plenty of room for him/her…but its quite high and need to be 3/4 filled for the heater to work properly and keep the temperature where it needs to be! Also, I know what triops are meant to be like and that they will eat smaller fish and each other and bigger fish might eat them etc…but I read on a website that they don’t harm Neon Tetras, is that true? And can Tetras survive in distilled water? I would love to be able to add them to the tank to add a bit of colour and make it all a bit more interesting…but I don’t

Triops cancriformis

I saved them from a quickly drying mass of water. They grow very well in my aquarium. A pity that are so short-living creatures, and my fishes eats the eggs…

Visit one of San Diego’s remaining vernal pools and learn about the thrat to the fairy shrimp, the habitat and the cost of development.
