Here are the four simple steps to hatching your own Daphnia eggs

The process is easy!

Check the Kit

First open the box and you will see a container. Now the kit has everything you need to get started with hatching your own Triops.

Inside you have an airline tube with the air stone, heater mat, a net which is for extracting Triops, the eggs themselves, and Indian almond leaves crushed up and ready to use, and finally a water conditioner.

Add Water, Conditioner & Leaves

Firstly, add water, make sure the water is clean and at the correct temperature for hatching Triops. We recommend using bottled water. Fill about 3 quarters of the container, then you want to add the water conditioner, it is enough for 2 uses so for now only use half. Next add the Indian leaves,

Add The Triops Eggs

Cut open the capsule with some scissors and empty the eggs into the container. Once it is open, pour them all in.

Observe

Then leave it for 12 to 24 hours (Triops eggs hatch really quickly). Keep the water clean and maintain the temperature within the recommended cool range of 15 to 18 degrees celsius, and keep the out of direct sunlight.
