possibly daphnia, baby triops or fairy shrimp.

Does sand hurt the triops?
A sandy bottom shouldn't bother triops. In fact triops like sand in the bottom of the tank because they can lay their eggs in the sand and cover them up. This prevents other triops from eating the eggs, and lets you hatch another batch later. Just make sure you wash the sand first, and don't use ocean sand because it contains salt that could mess up the pH for your triops.

Can Triops live in flavored water?
No way. Triops are pond and creek animals. Do not put any in flavored water because they will die if you do.
How often do triops breed a new generation of triops?
Under proper circumstances, triops can begin reproducing at about two weeks of age. Eggs will need to be removed from the tank and allowed to dry out, then rehydrated. Dried eggs can be viable for years if properly stored, so the timing of a new batch of triops is really up to the breeder.
