i read on the mytriop website that all you have to do is soak some dead leaves or hay in a pond, another tank or aquarium or some rain water so it soaks up all the algal and protozoan cysts and leave it soak for a few hours (i let mine set for a day or 2 then dry it out with the sun) one that has done break up/crumble ur dry, dead plant matter and if you want yoou can put in tea bags or leave it normally and put in a jar of water that is exposed to sunlight and let the water sit for a few days then add your jar contents (including the bag) into your triop tank along with 0.5L of distilled,pure or rain water and hopefully it should work.

Triops are omnivorous and primarily feed on small organisms and detritus in their environment. Betta bites, which are formulated fish pellets, may not be ideal for triops as their dietary needs differ. While triops might nibble on them, it's better to provide them with a varied diet that includes algae, small live foods, and specially formulated foods designed for them. Always ensure that any food offered is appropriate for their size and nutritional needs.
