They have three eyes, a round shovel-shaped exoskeleton, and a shrimp-like tail. Because they look prehistoric and in fact are identical to their long-fossilized ancestors, they are sometimes called "dinosaur shrimp."GRATIFYING PETS FOR KIDS: What makes Triops gratifying as pets is that they hatch in 18-48 hours and quickly grow to their adult size of 1-1.5 inches, and have a lifespan of 20-90 days. Plus, they are easy to take care of, animated, and large enough to watch!USE THE RIGHT WATER: When getting started with your Triops if you are using bottled water only use water labeled as natural spring water. If you are using tap water or any other bottled water boil and let the water sit and completely cool before adding the eggs. This will help remove chlorine and any other impurities. Unsuccessful triops hatch attempts are almost always a result of the water that is use. To be safe stick with bottled water that specifically says, “natural spring water”.HELPFUL HINTS: Each Triops Kit Contains Eggs, Food, Instructions and Helpful Hints.

This kit includes helpful hints and instructions that will ensure you successfully hatch and grow these prehistoric creatures. Take your time and Follow the helpful hints and instructions and grow your own Gigantic Triops! Review: Great! Just follow instructions and use your own tank - I didn’t expect too much after a failed Sea Monkey attempt, but these little guys are delightful! They double their size every few days so it’s really fun to see them grow. About 13 ended up hatching, but we did have some “disappear” as I understand is common with fellow tank mates. 6 have been thriving and getting larger, now we just have to figure out how to keep our tank clean! I highly recommend starting with a larger tank, the little bowl it comes with is tiny and not too sturdy. Review: Never again - Giving this product 4 stars because the triops grew, but I started out with 12 and ended with 4 because they kept randomly dying. Maybe a lot of them couldn’t get out of their exoskeleton? Because they were not being eaten by other Tripp’s, but it just seems like an awfully high percentage. However I am a little glad those 4 died after 12 days because they are SO DIRTY. They are dirtier than goldfish and produce a smell like no other even though I was doing daily 1/4 water changes. I guess it’s because they grow so fast they produce a lot of waste? Either way I am not getting triops again. They are cute in a way but too smelly. ## Features - HATCH & GROW PREHISTORIC CREATURES: Triops are small swimming crustaceans.

Only use Natural Spring Water and not pure spring water. **Q: How much Triops (aprox) have the pack? Sorry, i dont speak english...** A: We supply between 80-100 Triops eggs in our Triassic Triops kit. **Q: What does it come with?** A: Everything that is pictured here! **Q: We had only 2 hatch. shouldn't more eggs come in a package? otherwise, that is very expensive pets.** A: Temperature is a concern, too... Keep the tank warm, and well lit, under an incandescent light bulb, if possible... Don't go much over 80 degrees. If only a few hatched, after those die off, decant the water, and let it dry for a week or so... Then just add more Distilled water and try again!! I've hatched batches of eggs that were many years old! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great!

After 24 hours of waiting, there are several baby triops swimming about. I was apprehensive about purchasing these little creatures from reading the reviews but am happy that I decided to give them a try. For those that followed the directions to a "tee", that may have caused some of the issues. I have taken time to do my own research and will share what I did differently. Perhaps, the following will assist others in this venture. Hatching: On the directions it states to not use anything except spring water. I have used vapor distilled water. This is advice from different users that have successfully raised triops. I also have used a larger environment. Switching tanks does not only take time and extra care but can be stressful for human and triops alike.I placed a bit over a liter of water and let the water to sit overnight under a desk lamp to be sure that the temperature was at appropriate levels. I also placed the thermometer strip inside the "tank" being used away from the direct light to be sure of accuracy. Placing the strip on the outside will give an inaccurate reading. There are darker places away from the light that they can use as a rest area but seem quite content with the light. I always have the house at 75 degrees so I really don't need a water heater since the water temperature reads at 74. Food: I do not want to overdo the food but have seen several people that have supplemented the diet with carrot peices from day one. I have supplied a couple of beta food pebbles and they're gone so I guess the little ones liked them. It also kept the water clear so that's a plus. Carrots can discolor the water and get mushy.They will pretty much eat anything but don't give them too much. Breeding: I'm not sure if this part will work but the rest of the information is going well so this may, too. I am going to add more sand to their home so they can dig around and bury the eggs. So, after 48 hours they are still doing well and just thought this information may be helpful. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1284394-triassic-triops](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1284394-triassic-triops) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
