  • 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."
  • 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!
  • Country of Origin : China
  • 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”.

Triassic Triops are sold around the world and often used for educational purposes for small children all the way up to college kids.
