Triops - Smithsonian Prehistoric Sea Monsters 2

Our little Smithsonian Prehistoric Sea Monster (triops) is getting a lot bigger!

[coelophysisstudios]

I have 8 in my tank right now they hatched about 5 days ago and are almost half way grown! I sure hope they live to become that size

[Yonaseen]

I thinks it's quite amazing how these hybrid creatures have feet to crawl with and a tail to swim with!

[rue]

That’s so cool! I saw these at the store the other day and thought they were just a cool little animation or something, but they’re actually real, wow!

[bunglelord]

I had these as a kid, but one got too big and kept eating the new ones I put in the tank

[NicoleHaas-fv]

I have on that hatched. I would like to transfer it to a bigger tank so I can try to hatch more. What kind of sand do I use in the bottom of the bigger tank?

[stefanstrohbach]

Please, when you hatch those eggs again, give them a bigger tank with more spaceon the bottom they need a tank wich is filled with at least five liters to have a good live .

[MahoganyRaven]

How long do they usually live? Also, do you have to clean the tank after a certain period?

[Rip_gozumizaka]

i hae the same kind of kit however its been four days and idk if they have hatched

[kalitherat]

then there is me trying to hatch them-
yeah im probably going to fail lol

[electradon]

What type of sand do you use? I’m going to know because I’m gonna set up a 10 gallon tank for triops.

[ScotiaGirl]

Wow that ones looks big! My son got a kit for Christmas and only 2 grew to about the size on my pinky nail so far...and there’s another thing in the bowl I have no idea what it is

[ThisIsntRainbowloid]

Bro I can’t wait for mines to hatch<>_<

[sallybartos]

DO NOT put these guys in with your other fish or tadpoles, etc.! They quickly kill and eat everything else.

Bought this for my grandson's birthday November 23rd.  By December 24th the "One & Only" monster that remained died.  By the way, the tank was full of "hatchlings, " too numerous to count,  but they all got eaten up by the "One & Only.  How could that monster be so cruel???  Maybe it would have lasted longer had it not eaten its relatives.

Sorry for a delay comment hopefully u can reply quickly I just got these troops and shrimp- pets and I would like to know if u need a bigger tank than the one it requires?

[dirtymigpp]

Can you give me any tips on raising them ? Only 2 have hatched today is the 3rd day and one is double the size of the other one. I want them to grow big tho!

[NormalBacon]

Yo I got one right now and what do I feed them?

[ycfrzum]

Please give him a bigger tank he’s stressed

[kimtaylor]

Can you help me please .i got a small tank with the set. But i have brought breeding eggs. Can i use the tank I have? Also as they grow they will need a new bigger tank, how big does the tank need to be?

[meleenlaay]

how long did it take for yours to grow? I bought my kids some but o the directions it states to only add half the pouch in case u wanted to have more later, but it has been 3 days and nothing has been seen yet
