Product Description

Triassic Triops Starter Triassic Triops is a great way to hatch, grow, and observe the behavior of an amazing creature that hasn't changed in a million years. Just fill your tank with water, add your gravel and eggs, and watch your Triops hatch and grow. Triops can grow up to 2 and 50 times the size of their eggs. Kit includes: ? 80 Longicaudatus Triops eggs ? Food ? Instructions. They are guaranteed to hatch in 24 hours. Triassic Triops are actual prehistoric creatures which are identical to their prehistoric kin. They survived the centuries during interrupted states of suspended animation or "diapause". This state of suspended animation enables the Triops to survive seasonal drought. Triassic Triops permits you to grow and study the behavior of an amazing creature that hasn't changed in a million years. Triops are crustaceans that can be traced back to the prehistoric times. These three-eyed creatures grow up to 3 inches in length in their 20-90 day life span, sometimes doubling in size in a single day! Triops are brightly colored due to hemoglobin in the blood and pigment in their connective tissue. Very resourceful, they obtain oxygen from the water through their feet and sometimes swim on their backs, sweeping food into their mouths using their many lets. These intriguing creatures make great pets as they are very interesting to observe. Triops: way cooler, bigger and more active than sea monkeys Sorry, Australian law prohibits shipping this product to Australia.

Purchased three packs for three nieces to check out. In all three packs only 5 hatched and only one was successful in living longer than one month.
