Prehistoric animals that have survived to this day!
The Triops is a prehistoric crustacean (appearing over 200 million years ago).
Its name comes from the Greek, the name "triops" means "three eyes".
It lives in temporary ponds, that is to say the ponds which appear thanks to the rain, then which then dry up. They are small predators that are very active in these stagnant aquatic environments.

YOU WILL RECIEVE :
1 bag of 50 triops eggs with sand, varieties of your choice: Longicaudatus, Granarius, Cancriformis, Australiansis Queensland (choose your variety above)
+ 1 sachet of spirulina
+ 1 sachet of 2g cichlid pellets

TRIOPS LONGICAUDATUS
The triops Longicaudatus is a species of omnivorous triops. Individuals tend to prefer animal detritus over plant detritus, but will still eat both if they are available at the bottom of the water.
Triops longicaudatus is a rather solitary species, due to the relatively higher level of predation... there is a risk of cannibalism between individuals.

TRIOPS AUSTRALIENSIS QUEENSLAND
Triops aussiensis is a species native to Australia (hence its name), which is physically and genetically very close to Triops longicaudatus, despite their great geographical distance.
Its particularity: it hardly appreciates cool temperatures. In breeding, the optimal growth temperature is between 27 and 30°C.

TRIOPS GRANARIUS
The Granarius Triops are the most widespread Triops on our earth. They reside on three continents and live in Europe, Africa and Asia.
This allows them to live at low temperatures of 22°C up to temperatures of 28°C. They still prefer a temperature range around 22 to 24°C.

TRIOPS CANCRIFORMIS (large Triops)
The large triops cancriformis is a species of freshwater aquatic crustacean of the order Notostracae and the genus Triops, which appeared nearly 300 million years ago in larger forms (20 to 40 cm). It is found mainly in Europe, but it is also present in the Middle East (Israel).
Triops Cranciformis is a European species that has become rare and is found particularly in France: in the Gard, and especially in the Hérault.
The aquatic invertebrate Triops cancriformis is astonishing in several ways, because from the larval stage, this triops can double its weight every day, reaching a maximum size of 11cm in 2 months, which makes Triops cancriformis the largest species of Triops known.
