Triops Kit, Contains Eggs, Aquarium, Food, Instructions and Helpful Hints to Hatch and Grow Your Own Prehistoric Creatures, Fun Educational Toy for Kids

I had no problem raising some triops with this kit. They hatched and grew with ease, and in only a few days, I had little babies swimming around. I did end up moving my large ones to a bigger tank where they could dig in some substrate, and they eventually reproduced!Kit comes with everything you need to start your triops journey. Do some of your own research to make sure you can accommodate these cool critters as they grow. They only live for a few months. Good quality food, eggs that hatch and instructions that are easy to follow. Took me back to the Scholastic Book Fair days. Tons of fun, and my kid loved it.

Use to buy uncle Milton and grow them every timeTried this one and After 2 days Smelled so bad had to leave all the windows openVery disappointingWas not a normal smell since I had grow them before

Get this kit if you're just starting out because it gives you EVERYTHING. Sure, the container that comes with it is super flimsy and cheap, and you'll probably want to switch to a microwave-style plastic container in the long-run, but this kit is important because it more or less makes it easy to get started: limestone (important to increase the water pH if you add dead leaves to your hatchery like I do), spirulina (algae for the baby triops), adult food, and sand/eggs all in one kit. If you're new at hatching these, you have to start somewhere, and I continue to use the limestone and spirulina with my other hatcheries.I more or less gave 5 stars across the board only because I heard good things about this company (they actually sell triops eggs, not fairy shrimp or Sea-Monkeys like other kits) and I appreciate them even selling such an oddball (in a good way) product in the first place. My entire family has enjoyed learning about triops. The fact it's educational is just the cherry on top.

I gave 4 stars just because only one egg hatched. But this triops stayed 3 months alive. Overall it was a fun and educational experience.The kit includes everything you need to get started,instructions are clear.This kit offers a great pet experience. It gave us a joy of raising this unique creatures. It’s an excellent choice for anyone interested in biology and aquatic ecosystems.

I bought these for use in my biology class for invertebrates. They grew very big (about 1cm) in the first week and there was a fantastic amount of cannibalism (beware for younger kids) but the resulting animals are beautiful. They are a redish brown in color and they are very active. When you feed them they come up and grab the food right from you and start eating (it's really cute). They are a really cool and super-simple class pet. They only live a month or so, but that's perfect for a life cycle lesson. They are good for a kid to just have an easy pet to take care of too - so you can start your child with something like this and work them up to caring for something like a dog. This kit was very easy and the animals were extremely simple to care forThe seller was perfect

Out of all the triops kits I bought which was 4 not a single egg hatched ,I have raised sea monkeys and brine shrimp,but the triops are a waste of money

I was a little skeptical at first as the reviews on these Triops are mixed. However, once they arrived I popped the little hatching dish into my aquarium and added the sand/egg mixture and water. Within 24 hours, I have counted at least 34 of the little guys swimming around in the plastic hatching dish. Now it's up to me to keep them alive.I will suggest, though -- if you have pets or kids, you might want to get a sturdier hatching container. The one provided is flimsy plastic (think the cheap saucers at the hardware stores), and they don't have any sort of lid.I can't wait to see these little guys grow up, and I am not at all disappointed with the product.

Bought as a birthday gift for myself as i loved them as a kid. Unfortunately after following the directions and waiting the appropriate time, not a single triop hatched. Big letdown :(
