Triops Breeding Starter Kit – Grow your own prehistoric underwater acrobats!

Do you want to bring a unique and fascinating underwater world to life? With the Triops Breeding Starter Kit, you can bring living fossils into your home! Triops are ancient aquatic creatures that have been swimming on Earth for hundreds of millions of years. They are known for their impressive acrobatic swimming skills: they do somersaults, perform spins, and swim upside down with ease!

Rapid growth and a lasting hobby

The Triops breeding process is incredibly dynamic and full of action:

  • Day 1 - 2: The tiny nymphs hatch from their eggs within 24 to 48 hours!
  • Day 10: The Triops grow rapidly and are fully mature after about 10 days (2 to 6 cm long).
  • Week 2 - 3: From this period, they already start laying new eggs in the substrate.

After the adult creatures have completed their life cycle (20 to 80 days), you can dry the laid eggs and simply start over with the next batch. A hobby that never ends!

Fascinating behavior and unique characteristics

What is special about Triops is their enormous number of legs (35 to as many as 71 pairs!). When you sprinkle a food pellet in the water, you will see how they skillfully catch the food with their legs and transport it directly to their mouths. Because they are very active and constantly swim around, children and adults alike will never get bored!

What's included in the Triops Starter Kit?

  • Triops Eggs: High-quality eggs mixed with breeding substrate.
  • Special Triops Food: Tailored to the specific needs of young and adult creatures.
  • Pipette: For easy dispensing of water and food, or for cleaning.
  • Thermometer Sticker: For accurate control of the water temperature.
  • Clear Instructions: Step-by-step guide for successful breeding.
