About this item

  • HATCH & GROW PREHISTORIC CREATURES: Triops are small swimming crustaceans. 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."
  • JUMBO SIZED: Normal Triops are about 1 to 1.5 inches long, but the eggs in this Gigantic Triops kit hatch jumbo-sized guys that can be about 2 Inches long when fully grown!
  • GRATIFYING PETS FOR KIDS: What makes Triops gratifying as pets is that they hatch in 18-48 hours, quickly grow to their adult size of 1-2 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, boil bottled water, and let it sit and completely cool before adding the eggs. This will help remove chlorine and any other impurities. You may also choose to try tap water, if you boil it and let it sit for 2 days in sun light. Add only 25 Triops eggs at a time to the environment, in case there is an issue with the water, and you need to start again.
  • HELPFUL HINTS: Each Gigantic Triops Kit Contains Eggs, Food, Instructions and Helpful Hints. Triassic Triops are sold around the world and often used for educational purposes for small children all the way up to college kids. 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!

Biggest triops I've ever hatched!
5 Stars
Biggest triops I've ever hatched!
This is the 3rd or 4th time I've gotten triops eggs from them, the only reason I've ever had problems with the eggs is because of something i did wrong, introducing plants with planaria, over feeding etc. I use spring water, put NOTHING else in the container except a small amount of clean sand and a limestone pebble, and place a bright plant light over the container. A day after i see activity, i drop in a tiny tiny tiny scoop of fry food (spirulina and brewers yeast based), and as they get bigger i start feeding them things like fish flakes, dried bloodworms, frozen bloodworms, very crushed carrots, very carefully because it's super easy to over feed them and trash the water, and finally at full size they're massive! If using sand as substrate, you simply dry the sand out on a cookie sheet, put the sand back in a container with water and a light on it, and boom, new triops! (Until you hatch them with duckweed infested with planaria and then you have to buy more eggs) This is a good product, I've had great success multiple times, and will order from them again when i need to restock my triops.

1.0 out of 5 stars 0% hatch rate 100% adherence to instructions

I was really excited to try these as a project with my daughter. Unfortunately none of them hatched, despite the fact that we split the “eggs” into two batches, one we used spring water as instructed, and the other we used straight river water. We followed the instructions to the letter and.. nothing.

Interesting and fun activity for kids of all ages with supervision. My 11 year old didn't need help though. Only a few hatched out of many. If your hatch is unsuccessful, the manufacturer will send you more upon following instructions though.

I followed the instructions to a capital T. 1 liter natural spring water. Let sit 24 hours with 3 small pieces of limestone provided. Placed on seed starting heat pad with cheap grow light above. I’m only 12 hrs in and I have at least 22 very small triops fluttering around my bowl and they are still hatching. I’m only worried my container is to small can’t wait to see what becomes of this…
