Don't hatch your eggs over 25 celcius, according to literature, even the tropical species do hatch LESS at higher temps! Top, leuke video, ik hoop dat je triops goed gaat. Mijn eerste spaanse groene triops is eergisteren geboren, een kleine vibrerende punt tegen donkere achtergrond, heeft er 2 weken over gedaan om uit eitje te komen. AFTER hatching, you can up the temperature and more oxigen with a bubbler and start to feed for optimal growth, those green spanjards reach 6 to 7 cm. If you're looking to make any aquatic critter a "huge" size, then providing pure oxigen would increase their size by 10 to 20%.... prehistoric air contained much more oxigen, that's why prehistoric insects could grow that big. Dragonflies that reached an impressive 2 m.
Yeah, be patient! Rainwater is good to hatch Triops eggs, even better is bottled NATURAL sourced water, like "evian". My eggs would not hatch because my local faucet water is very hard. I now use rainwater and I add some crushed (not powdered!) Egg Shell, and a dried leave, that and the algae that will grow within a few days, no need to feed anything! That will prevent any risk on overfeeding.
Never throw away the "eggs that didn't work", as they remained in their diapause. These eggs can be dried for at least two weeks and used again! Im glad the R/O worked, but dont forget to add some water that contains minerals for the long run! If you need info on the transfer, find the video on my channel
@@TriassicParkTriopsDo you sell triops? I'm trying to get albino triops. I had a couple of them hatch and die within hours so still not sure what's going on. There has been no rain here in Texas for at least 2 months so rainwater isn't an option. I pulled out the other eggs that were floating and dried them, and then got purified water and added them to that.

Rainwater is good... Do remove eventual mosquito larvae that are partly predatory. Filter out any critter that might munch on the hatching eggs or newborn babies. Bottled water is better. Buy natural spring water like Evian. You can hatch eggs in DISTILLED water, but no aquatic creature can survive long in distilled water, due to the inverse osmose pressure... it will literally blow up the poor critters.... and transferring hatchlings to another container with different water is always a stressing move that may harm your baby nauplii, therefore I now hatch them in their final container: a 1 or 2L tupper or bottle with some sand to cover the bottom and for laying new eggs, bottled natural springwater (shake well to oxigenate) and one dried leave that will decay over time and provide food for the hatchlings. Also algae will grow spontaneously although you can help by adding some floating plants like duckweed, they will bring algae spores with them... add a bit of crushed (not powdered) Egg Shell to have long term calcium provision without hardening your water. Now put that container in a place with a lot of indirect sunlight. This will provide a maintenance-free ecosystem.... Once your colony died out by itself, let the container dry out by itself or help it drying with a blowfan (not too hot) or whatever way you choose to dry your egg-filled sand... add same bottled water again and the cycle starts over again. I use no heater (I have my room at stable 24 celcius) no filters or bubblers... just plain big jars or wide necked bottles and tuppers... but that's because I got clam shrimp and fairy shrimps too, but because triops prefer more horizontal space, you could use flat plastic transparent tuppers with lids, you can pile them up onto one another. No need for much space if you do it like that. I'm building a water wall in front of my window, using many tuppers, quite cool. I don't use bubblers or filters anymore for my aquaria, because I don't "feed" anymore either, except with live food that keeps living if it is not consumed, mainly aquatic plants and microfauna: daphnia, copepods, algae, duckweed, one or two bigger floating plants. Keep it as simple as possible. I don't even measure my water quality anymore! Those things tend to go south when trying to do things too well. Like killing Aloe vera by overwatering. Neglect it and it will thrive, even if you neglect too much, you will have huge margin / time for correction, whereas by overdoing (overfeeding critters / overwatering plants) you can kill them within a few days! Less is more! Patience, perseverance and just plain common sense will get you anywhere! Practice some aquaponics using only Triops and Watermint, you'll have triops and can use some mint leaves yourself for a salad or a tea 😎. I don't keep fish yet, only smaller critters, like shrimp and crayfish. Maintenance free is the way to go, let nature do it's thing, it will do it's own magic, we're just helping a tiny little bit.😋

Im using a Sochting Oxydator, it releases pure oxygen into the water. I hope it helps with increasing the sizes!

I just had this problem 😕 had to make a new hatchery and got RO water and FINALLY I got 3 😑

@@TriassicParkTriops oh I didn't, I did dry them and tried again 😅

Any recommendations on GH and KH levels for the main tank?
How do i go about getting r/o water what would you recommend please mate as my tap water is 330ppm
I'm from the UK
