Triops Breeding

Standard complete kit

With this standard kit you can breed Triops yourself! Triops are very special creatures. They do somersaults and spins in the water like true acrobats; they can even swim upside down.

Process

In this kit, you'll receive eggs from which Triops will emerge (this happens in just 1 to 2 days)! After about 10 days, your Triops will already be adults. And within 2 to 3 weeks, they'll lay eggs again. These creatures can live for 20-80 days, and after that, you can simply start over with the eggs they've laid. So, this hobby doesn't just end!

Triops grow to be between 2 and 6 cm long. How big these aquatic creatures become depends on the amount of food and light they receive and the size of the container you keep them in.

These special animals have 35 to 71 pairs of legs! When a food pellet is dropped into the water, you can see them grab the food and bring it to their mouth with their little legs.
