Seems like a lot of extra work. Just drain the tank and let the eggs dry in the tank. Take all the algae covered rocks and stuff out and into another tank to keep growing algae. Then add water and algae covered rocks back to the tank. Eggs hatch and babies eat all the stuff growing on rocks....
That's definitely an option! If wanting pure eggs, then it becomes a process. I like pure eggs as they allow for easy storage, and the sand can be used for other projects if need be. It also allows you to know how many eggs you have, how many you are using, hatching rates, etc. I also use the same tank to house different species as the previous pass away, so I would like to keep the eggs "species pure" as much as possible. I suppose it just depends on the situation!
Really helpfull! I've been hatching T. Longicaudatus and have a colony of about 20 indivituals, but have been struggling to collect the eggs
Well done! Great tutorial!
This a really cool tutorial!
Aren’t you worried rewetting them will do something to them? Isn’t that how they hatch? Also do the eggs have to dry before they will hatch? Why didn’t they hatch in the tank originally? And why did they all die in only a month?
estou aprendendo muito com você, espero que eu consiga criar também
Cool. This way you can reuse all the Sand and stuff after cleaning without getting too many minerals and nitrate.
If you just left them would they hatch out in that tank? Also, I'd love to see an update on your bristlecone pine seedlings!
Unfortunately, Triops eggs must be dried and thrown back into the water to hatch as far as I'm aware. This is the same for Fairy Shrimp as well.
In rare cases sometimes a few hatch, but naturally it doesn't happen. They must go through a drying out phase in order to hatch. Some sad news on the seedlings, they dried out one time after overwintering successfully and didn't recover. I may have to try again!
That's super interesting, thanks for the information! Bummer about the seedlings. I have been trying to grow a silver birch bonsai from seed for a few years and am also having to restart. If you give it another go, I hope you'll do a video!@@naturenate39

Tank Tadpole shrimp
Awesome videos, but to be clear, once they are fully dried out I can restart the process from the first video? Thanks!
That’s right!
can put the triops with fish and other animals?
As long as triops are well fed, they shouldn’t go after other live animals. That said, the fish should be at least the same size as the triops. A larger tank also helps prevent predation
Aquariums shrimp
Where do you get the small vials you put the eggs in? Perhaps a name for them or a place to order?
They are called microcentrifuge tubes, I believe mine are the 1.5 mL size. There should be a few options on Amazon
@naturenate39 thanks. They looked familiar, but I could not place it. I checked on Amazon and they have a few sizes for reasonable prices. Do you have any problems getting all the eggs out due to static electricity?
@@jca245 for the most part no, there aren't any issues. There may be a few left at the very bottom but with a few taps they should come free
love ur video but when we clean the tank and i have adluts triops where do i put the adults triops while the tank is being cleaned?
They could be moved into a temporary Tupperware container if need be. It’s recommended to do the egg collection process without any triops left to avoid the stress of moving them back and forth. There are also other egg collection methods that may work better if you want to do it earlier.
thanks i may have more tips from u new subscriber thx
