Review on Greenwaterfarm Triops Red Longicaudatus Eggs – Ideal for Hatching & Cultivation in Pet Care and Science Projects (200 Pure Eggs) by Jacob Thorson

They don't hatch. for aquarium decoration

My child was very happy about these cysts for his birthday. We counted them and found it wasn't exactly 200, but close enough. We let the water sit for a while to allow the particles to settle and the pH to drop. Water tests showed no ammonia, nitrite, low nitrate etc. Eggs were added and we waited 24 hours; 76 degrees, lots of oxygen. Nothing at all. We gave him another 24 hours. Nothing at all. Ok, we thought it might be a water issue. We took water from a fully recirculated and planted aquarium with a lower pH that contained algae, other aquatic insects, and a variety of beneficial bacteria. Another two dozen eggs, day.nada. Forty Eight Hours.zip. The original tank, still tuned, is over a week old and has no sign of life. Mussels, copepods and daphnia breed like rabbits in the new aquarium. Still no triops. $12 and all I got was green water and a sad baby.

Pros
  • aquarium decoration
Cons
  • easy-care
