Triops Longicudatus Egg Set - Easy Hatch

田土を何度か購入してみましたが、ホウネンエビやカイエビはすぐ湧きますがカブトエビは未だに出会えていないので購入しちゃいました。 想像の10倍小さい入れ物に卵が入っていました。 ぱっと見100粒もないですが200粒・・？にはどう見ても見えませんが数えてるらしいのできっとあるのでしょう とりあえず孵化さえしてくれれば良いので期待を込めて☆4で

I purchased eggs on April 29, 2022 and received them in two days with prime shipping. After following careful instructions with kid kits for hatching triops and having no luck on more than one occasion, I decided to wing this batch. I floated a small clear dish (about 6-8oz, the little round ones sweet and sour sauce comes in when you get Chinese takeout!) in my established 75 gallon freshwater tank containing water from that tank so that it would stay a consistent 78 degrees farenheit. I opened the package and retrieved the small vial of eggs-- that vial is my only qualm about the product. I opened it and because of static, NONE of the eggs would dump out of the tube. I used a pipette to gently flush water into the vial several times over top of my little dish. Unfortunately even this was not very effective and the force I had to use to jet water into the vial caused some of the eggs to end up in my 75 gallon tank. I recollected all I could and put them back into the dish. It was nearly 10 minutes of me fighting to actually get all of the eggs out of the vial. I'm not fully convinced there were 200 eggs in the vial, but I can say with confidence that there looked to be at least 150 eggs in the batch I received. Maybe it was 200. It's incredibly difficult to count them. My tank used to be planted so I have an Oddysea plant light on the tank. I don't know if that matters. I turned the light on so the eggs would be floating directly under a bright light. It has been exactly 24 hours and I just checked the dish... there were SO MANY baby triops swimming in the dish! I went and found four more little dishes and I used a pipette to transfer some of the babies into each dish to help reduce predation. I sucked up and transferred a total of exactly 65 baby triops into my other four dishes and I left approximately 20 baby triops (these I did not individually count with the pipette, just counted by eye) in my original dish. So I currently have about 85 baby triops exactly 24 hours after placing these eggs into water. That's over a 40% hatch rate and with a critter people frequently get a >10% hatch rate with, I'm pretty excited about that rate. And I imagine it's possible that more may continue to hatch, it has only been 24 hours. After spreading the babies across 5 containers total, I crumbled up several tiny pellets of food that I had from a kid triop hatching kit. I mixed the crumbs with water and used my pipette to gently flush crumbles around in each of the containers. As soon as a baby made contact with the food, they clung to it. I'm not sure if this was feeding or resting behavior, but they enjoyed the addition of the crumbles either way. Tomorrow at 48 hours, I will separate more babies as needed, use my pipette to remove any food waste, siphon a tiny amount of water out of each dish, use the pipette to flush some new fresh water into each dish/aerate the water, and then I will offer the babies a new round of food. I plan to repeat this until they get large enough that I can transfer them into a small tank with a sponge filter. Unfortunately I only set up a 2 gallon tank for these guys because I only expected to hatch 1-2. Realistically, only a couple of the ones I hatched will actually get any size to them so the 2 gallon might not be a bust yet. But if even 5+ make it, we're going to need to upgrade to at least a 10 gallon. I will try to update regarding the success I have with these little guys. But in regards to the product itself, I'm very satisfied with these eggs. They are definitely fertile, and they definitely have potential for a decent hatch rate if given proper conditions. My prior attempts I used distilled water, 70 degrees Farenheit and eggs from kid's kits and never had luck. This time I used water from an established freshwater fish tank (roughly 6.8 pH), 78 degrees Farenheit, and a bright light and had good luck within 24 hours. I know these guys are pretty short lived overall. I will definitely purchase eggs from this company again, and next time I might attempt to hatch only half of the eggs at a time so I have less predation and can enjoy the little guys more than once.

Alot of baby triops. Highly recommend

Just put my eggs in roughly 24 hours ago and already see at least 30 babies maybe even more and I’m sure more will hatch. The only negative is that there definitely was not 200 eggs, maybe 100-125 eggs and I’m expecting at least a 50% hatch rate. I will update my review if that number increases! Method of succes: - 3 gallon tank - LED Lights -1.5 inches of diamond black quartz sand - calcium powder mixed into the sand - natural spring water - couple pinches of chlorella powder in the water - add air stone bubbler - aquarium heater in the water keeping it consistently at 78°-79° - digital thermometer making sure temps stay the same - PH testing strips keeping the PH balance around 7-9 (I also purchased some limestone rocks that can be added to the water if the ph gets too low. But the calcium powder also brings the ph level up) - let the water sit for 3 days before adding the eggs. - 12 hours after adding the eggs I already had about 10 hatch and now 24 hours later I have at least 30, I’m expecting to see more over the next 24 hours as well.

Es un excelete producto a mis hijos les encataron sus nuevos triops

I've used many different sets of triops hatch kits before but this one was the most disappointing. Hatch rate is bad (about 1%) and none of the hatchlings survived past day 3. Instructions are sparse and hatchling food was not provided so i had to use the ones from other kits. Considering cheaper sets have better hatch and survival rates, I do not recommend this kit.
