    Hi there everyone.

    I got some triops (PLEASE mods don't close this thread because of the blacklist) and was wondering how I would go along setting up a tank for them.
    I tried floating a bag with rainwater and eggs in my tank and that seems to have done pretty well but where do I go from there?
    Must I put them into a tank with a sponge filter or something like that? Please anyone that has experience, guide me in the right direction.

    And mods. Please explain to me why we can't discuss inverts like they do on apsa. They don't sell or trade them so surely this would not cause harm.

    I do not mind if this thread is deleted. Please just send me a PM then :bigsmile:

    Thanks
    Firefly

    Triops are small pre-historic crustacians, that are simmilar to daphnia, fairy shrimp and brine shrimp. I have found them in pools on the farms in northern and western province, after rain.
    I also believe to put a blanket ban on all crustacians is wrong. If we can discuss daphnia, why not triops?
