Ok /an/, I'm falling in love with having triops. If you don't know what they are, think sea monkeys, but more prehistoric looking.Any one ever own them, and what were your experiences?
excuse me, I meant falling in love with the idea of getting triops. I don't have them yet!
I got some triops kit for like 20-30 bux, i put ten eggs in the water but nothing happend. I still have 20 eggs left but I think im going to put them in my teachers coffee
I've considered buying a kit but didn't like the feeling ofhaving some underwater roach as a pet,and too many fucking legs
They also reek like hell, so I've been told.
sea monkies are way better, last longer, and don't smell as bad.
FFS, It's not the fucking triops that smell, it's the accumulation of waste and detritus from keeping them in little unfiltered containers and not vacuuming the gravel or doing water changes.
>>328179so if I get a tiny filter, this would be good, yes?
>>328193Yes. Water changes and gravel vacuuming also, just like you would do with fish.
>>328194where do I get vaccuums small enough that I don't kill the Triops?
I had triops once. They are annoying as hell to take care of with about as much pay off as watching what grows on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich after a few months. Gayer even than sea monkeys.
>>328093>>328093>>328093Breed mass quantities of them and sell them to fish breeders as live food. Trust me, there is money in it. i work for my stepdad who does it for a living.
>>328538So both you and your dad breed triops for a living? Is that all you do? You don't breed like worms or trout or anything else?
>>328551No, we breed more than that.
>>328551We have a freshwater and salt system.As soon as we are ready we are going on ebay to sell all that shit.
