They can get along with most fish. Ask an atandant at your local pet store for more info. Btw as pong as the fish is BIGGER (not even the same size) than the triops because otherwise u will end up only with triops becuz they are cannibals too. Yeah i know! Weird
You can feed triops a variety of foods, including algae wafers, fish food pellets, and even finely crushed flakes or dried shrimp. It's important to offer a balanced diet for their health and development. Additionally, you can supplement their diet with fresh vegetables like spinach or carrot.
yes triops are very good beginner pets because they are easy to take care of.
Yes, you can feed your triops tiny pieces of peeled carrot once they are 2 weeks old. Make sure the pieces are small enough for the triops to easily consume, as they can be scavengers and will eat a variety of food items like vegetables along with their main diet. Remember to remove any uneaten food to maintain water quality in the tank.
Triops are ancient aquatic shrimps; they possess gills and not lungs. The gills colapse when not in water, and are basically non functional. So the answer is no, triops cannot breath out of water.
Yes, triops are typically more active and feed during the night, making them nocturnal creatures. They usually exhibit this behavior in the wild and also in captivity.
The Triops may very well eat the fish. I wouldn't try this. Even if the fish did eat the Triops, would you really want to do this considering the fact that a Triops has a shell? Seems like instant indigestion or worse to me.
Unless the fish are really bigger than your triops the fish might get eaten.
no is the answer to both your questions
Triops Longicaudatus, or the tadpole shrimp are omnivorous. They will eat insects, small fish, tadpoles and anything that is smaller than they are, including other tadpole shrimp.
Triops can eat a range of fish food (pellets not flakes). Triops can also eat: grated carrot rice small pieces of fish prawn(not much bigger than food pellets) ranges of fruit I got all this information and more at www.triops.bravehost.com
ya who asked this?
I think that if u put a triop in a tank with something biggerand is also a predator it might eat the triops .This might also happen with fish that bigger that it.
No they are crustaceans and shrimp like. Fish also dont have legs, or 170 legs. Fish also dont have 3 eyes.
yes it can because triops are cannibals.
Yes, this is because triops are racist, and the females tend to be darker.
According to Wikipedia, there are ten recognized species of triops, and according to "rainbowaq-triops", there are at least 15 known species of triops.
In the wild they eat plant material, small bugs and pond creatures, and even each other if food is scarce. If you are raising triops at home you can basically feed them anything organic. Chopped up vegetables and other kitchen scraps are good choices, or you can simply feed them a commercial fish food, like Betta fish food or shrimp pellets. You can also throw in dead bugs, spiders, etc and see if they will eat it. Or as the previous poster mentioned, you can even feed them grass.
