About this item

• HATCH & GROW PREHISTORIC CREATURES: Triops are small swimming crustaceans. They have three eyes, a round shovel-shaped exoskeleton, and a shrimp-like tail. Because they look prehistoric and in fact are identical to their long-fossilized ancestors, they are sometimes called "dinosaur shrimp."

• GRATIFYING PETS FOR KIDS: What makes Triops gratifying as pets is that they hatch in 18-48 hours, quickly grow to their adult size of 1-2 inches, and have a lifespan of 20-90 days. Plus, they are easy to take care of, animated, and large enough to watch!
• USE THE RIGHT WATER: When getting started with your Triops, boil bottled water, and let it sit and completely cool before adding the eggs. This will help remove chlorine and any other impurities.

Add only 25 Triops eggs at a time to the environment, in case there is an issue with the water, and you need to start again.
