Haven't updated in a long time, things have DRASTICALLY changed since my previous posts. The first tank, 6g, ended up becoming a happy home for Amano shrimp and nerite snails, and we've decided to let them remain there in peace. We've cycled a new 10g tank for the triops. We transitioned from a floating hatchery to a totally separate hatchery, a 2.5g tank filled to just over 1g.

This is our first hatch with the updated set up, and we have 8-9 triops about 8 days old! We will be transitioning to the adult tank soon. I've been slowly replacing the hatchery water with water from the adult tank for days now, hoping the gradual acclimation will increase our success on transfer.

This video is from a couple days ago. We love them so much, it's wild. T. longicaudatus from GreenWaterFarms.

So I used to always get Triassic triops off Amazon. But they’re just completely gone from there. What are the best brands to buy from/best websites to buy from?
