The first hatch I did I got 4 out of 19 to hatch. The kit's instructions say to feed them as soon as they hatch, but the pinned topic here says never to feed them before the 3rd day. They hatch, live a couple of days then die. What are your tips/suggestions to sucessfully raise babies?! Any help is geatly appreciated! :) I have done the same with my Sea Monkeys and they are thriving, oodles of them. I have culligan brand here but I'm scared to try again just yet (I'm due to have a baby boy any day now). Then I stayed over at the boyfriends one night and got back and all my triops (bigger one and 2 seperated smaller ones) were dead. My smaller ones eventually disappeared and the 1st 1 lived another 2 days. My kit instructs that babies should be fed a few hours after hatching so i would mix food and feed as instructions said and i would use the pipette twice daily to add bubbles for oxygen. I had 1 triop hatch in 3 days then 2-3 more over night. I kept the container in a window with just the sunlight and at night the dark The water never went below 72 degrees F. The instructions say I must use natural spring water (recommends culligan brand). But THIS kit comes with only eggs, baby and adult food, magnifying glass, gravel, hatching dish, bean-shaped adult tank (to small for moe than 1 adult), thermometer, pipette, and instuctions. That kit had detritus mixed with the eggs as well as a packet of food. I had triops once as a young kid and 2 grew to a ripe old age (for a triop) then they eventually died. My mom puchased the triassic triops kit for me for christmas.
