Triop care is simple, far more simple than say, Sea Monkeys. This page will help you with the care of your Triops.
Day 1: Fill your tank with distilled or spring water. Put it next to a heat lamp or desk lamp until the water temperature is at least 75*F. When this temperature has been achieved, add your triops eggs to the tank.
Day 2: Your Triops eggs should be hatched on the day after you add your Triops eggs, but don't be alarmed if they don't. It sometimes takes them a week to hatch! Make sure the light is good for the newborns, and the temperatur is at least 75*F, but no hotter than 80*f.
Day 3: Now you can feed your triops. Between two spoons, crush 1 brown and one green pellet, and put the food in the tank.
Day 4-6: Count each of the hatchlings. Feed one brown and one green pellet for each Triops.
Day 7: Your Triops should now be adults. Keep feeding them the same as days 4-6. Keep the temperature good. To grow large Triops, feed them Sea Monkeys:),
or little bits of raw carrot 3x a week. You may want to feed them their pelletts twice a day if you feed them food pellets.
