What is the habitat for triops?

Answer 1

There are many habitats for Triops

But the single most common theme of a Triops habitat is a water body that dries out for at least some time during the year. So that when the larvae hatch they are free from pr editors like fish and dragon flies etc. Triops are opportunistically filling a habitat that would otherwise be used by other animals like fish.

Answer 2

Well triops are usually sold in kits that come with: an instruction booklet, a plastic bowl that they will live in, food, a small siphon to suck out wasteparticles that may eventually cloud water, some sand that surves as substrate, a packet or capsule of triop eggs, and may have a temperature strip and a decoration piece (i.e. a plastic castle or fake plant to make your bowl look good). You start out by washing out the plastic bowl with some water to remove any dust. Then dry it off and pour the sand/substrate on the bottom. Add the temperature strip and decoration(s). Pour room-temperature distilled water into the bowl until theres about 1/2 inch until the rim. I recommend waiting 24 hours before adding any triop eggs. While waiting a day check for any leaks/problems and if all is clear you can then add the packet of eggs into the water(make sure the water remains about 75F(23.89C). During the hatching period you'll want to keep the temperature fairly constant and don't feed the hatching triops. After a while you will be able to see little white things swimming around. Feed them very small amounts each day and gradually they will grow bigger and bigger until they start to look like actual triops. Once the're big enough to be seen you may then use the siphon to suck up extra food and poop. In no time your triops will be full grown and will be delightful to watch as they swim around and play in the sand.
