Answer 1

You will need:

Triops eggs

Some bottled water

Some detritus (dried leaves)

1.When you first hatch the triops, only add a very small amount of water, maybe a few cm.

2.Put the dried leaves in the water.

3.Leave it in a sunny position for atleast 8 hours

4. If the tempreture is between 22 - 28 degrees C, you can add the eggs.

24 hours later...

Put a bright light behind the container. Can you see little white dots swimming near the bottom?

These are your baby Triops :)

They will eat the microscopic infusoria in the first three days. Do not feed.

On the fourth day...

Feed them a few granuals of crushed 'Triop Food Pellets'

When they get bigger...

Feed them a little bit more everyday.

Only add more food if they have eaten it all.

You don't have to add gravel, but if you want them to dig (and eventually lay more eggs) then add some sand.

Goodluck!!!

Answer 2

buy some colourful gravel, (the triop city tank comes with free gravel, and glow in the dark stones!!) and of course a triop set, (triop food, triop eggs, and a nutrient bag. you can get free eggs if you none of your last lot hatched, i did!! lol)

dont add ornemants, as they dont do the triop much good...

use bottled water, not distilled, boiled or de-chlorined water...

temp. should be about 24 degrees c. triop kingdom comes with a free thermometer. temp is super imprtant because my last triop died of over heating ='[

gd luck!! =D
