triops are just big sea monkeys, They are incredibly easy too look after, I persuaded my mum too get them for me after showing her how easy they were to look after.
If your mum isn't letting you have them tell her this;
THEY ARE REALLY EASY TO LOOK AFTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Triops are small crustaceans that have a transparent and elongated body with three eyes, hence their name. They have a shield-like carapace covering their head and thorax, and their long tail ends in a fan-like structure. Triops typically have a pair of antennae and multiple pairs of legs for swimming and feeding.
Yes, triops can breathe out of water through their specialized gills that allow them to absorb oxygen from the air. They typically live in temporary bodies of water that can dry up, making this adaptation crucial for their survival.
yes triops are very good beginner pets because they are easy to take care of.
You can feed triops a variety of foods, including algae wafers, fish food pellets, and even finely crushed flakes or dried shrimp. It's important to offer a balanced diet for their health and development. Additionally, you can supplement their diet with fresh vegetables like spinach or carrot.
Yes, you can feed your triops tiny pieces of peeled carrot once they are 2 weeks old. Make sure the pieces are small enough for the triops to easily consume, as they can be scavengers and will eat a variety of food items like vegetables along with their main diet. Remember to remove any uneaten food to maintain water quality in the tank.
Yes, triops are typically more active and feed during the night, making them nocturnal creatures. They usually exhibit this behavior in the wild and also in captivity.
Yes newts can eat Triops. Care needs to be taken with smaller newts, that the Triops arent too big. Larger newts like paddletails will have no issues with larger Triops.
The Triops may very well eat the fish. I wouldn't try this. Even if the fish did eat the Triops, would you really want to do this considering the fact that a Triops has a shell? Seems like instant indigestion or worse to me.
yes it can because triops are cannibals.
Yes, this is because triops are racist, and the females tend to be darker.
According to Wikipedia, there are ten recognized species of triops, and according to "rainbowaq-triops", there are at least 15 known species of triops.
Well, usually Triops will just breed if there's two of them, because Triops are mostly hermaphrodites, meaning one could breed with the other, because they can be either male or female. Triops will lay their eggs on pretty much any object, from rocks to plants to substrate. Triops will have visible eggs, just like a lobster would under it's tail, triops will generate eggs in the same area. What I do is look for the eggs, wait for them to disappear, and remove the two (or however many) adults you have, because triops who are in the same area will eat the eggs. Then wait for the eggs to hatch, grow, and start again. Keep in mind most of the eggs will die, and only a few will hatch. I hope this helped!!!
They like alodea or amazon sword plant
Yes, Triops are living creatures.
well, fully grown triops have quite an appetite and will probaly die if not fed for 2-3 days. i suggest letting your friend have them round theirs to look after. it then works for you and your friend.
Provided you do everything correctly Triops will breed.
