What kind of water do you use to hatch triops?
hard water.
Can you use distilled water to grow and hatch triops?
Yes, distilled water can be used to grow and hatch triops. However, it's important to make sure the water is free from any contaminants and at the proper temperature to support the development of the triops. Maintaining water quality and conditions is crucial for the health and growth of triops.
How do you breed 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!!!
What is the stage triops eggs remain in that allows them to wait many years for perfect conditions to hatch in?

Will your triops die without a nutrient pack?
You should put the Nutrient Pack into the water BEFORE you add the eggs - if you do not, then yes, any newly-hatched Triops will die as the Nutrient Pack provides microscopic food for them, and they will starve to death without it. At the time that they hatch, they are too small to feed from the food pellets that the Triops kits provide.
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.
