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?

I've considered buying a kit but didn't like the feeling of
having 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.

so if I get a tiny filter, this would be good, yes?

Yes. Water changes and gravel vacuuming also, just like you would do with fish.

where 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.

Breed 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.

So 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?

No, we breed more than that.
