I have 2 week old triops. I have 2 triops now and had!! 2 fairy shrimp. I saw 4 creatures in the tank when they first hatched. I could of had 2 triops and 2 fairy shrimp now but the triops ate the fairy shrimp and that's why they are Cannibals!!! I kept them well, always with food pellets in the tank. I noticed later as they got bigger that there was one that looked odd not like a triop, it kinda looked like a shrimp so I looked it up on the internet and it was indeed a shrimp, a fairy shrimp so that night I named them. Yesterday I only had 3 creatures so I named the big triop Tubbie and the other Trixie and the fairy shrimp Poppi. Poppi was my favorite. In the morning Poppi was gone, the two big triops ate him alive! So I don`t recomend it to any animal lovers like me. By the way triops have three eyes, two in front and one on top, just to let you know.

The directions on the box are too vague. There is no information on water temperature or how much light they need. Our first batch of eggs did nothing. After doing research on the web & following tips, we tried to hatch a second batch. We only got (2) - we expected (6). There should be more specific directions and you may get a bad batch of eggs. I can't find information on how to communicate with the company. I guess to try a 3rd time we will have to purchase another batch of eggs. The cost of the replacement eggs plus S&H is almost the same price we paid for the kit.
