Do triops need oxygen?
Triops are sensitive to oxygen levels, just not in the way you might expect: It would be very hard to kill triops from lack of oxygen. Oxygen levels must drop well below 1 part per million (ppm) to threaten the life of triops, and even a hot, stagnant desert pool generally contains at least 2 ppm oxygen.
Why do my triops keep dying?
This is usually due to the following reason. You may have used too much water. The more water you have in the tank, the more the infusoria is diluted and so the tiny Triops have difficulty finding enough to eat in the crucial first 72 hours. So they simply die from lack of food.
How do you keep triops alive?

How long does it take triops to hatch?
Hatched triops can survive at temperatures between 23°C and 32°C. The eggs should start to hatch in 24 to 48 hours under the right conditions. Sometimes only one or two eggs will hatch; you'll be very lucky to get half a dozen babies.
Do triops eggs float?
When the eggs are hydrated, if they aren't buried in sediment, they will float to the surface and be exposed to sunlight. The presence of light is what tells the egg it isn't buried and it is safe to hatch.
How can you tell if a Triop is male or female?
You can determine which triops are males by looking at their shields. Males have a flat, round shield. Females can be instantly determined by the eggs they carry around their legs. Triops may also be hermaphrodites.
Can triops live in cold water?

Can triops breed?
Triops can be male or female, or may be hermaphroditic with female tendencies. This means some triops can occasionally reproduce by themselves, although having more than one triop can increase the chances of breeding.
How do you make triops water?
5 to 1 gallon (1.9 to 3.8 L) of natural spring water per Triops. Pour the water into an empty, clean aquarium or fish tank. Measure out the right amount based on the number of Triops you currently have or expect to have after hatching. Use natural spring water, which has calcium to help the animals grow.
Are triops saltwater or freshwater?
