With the Triops longicaudatus Red \u2013 Triops Mini Set, children (and adults \ud83d\ude09) are immersed in a fascinating world that existed long before dinosaurs ruled the Earth. Raising these prehistoric crustaceans combines learning, responsibility and genuine wonder \u2013 it\u2019s prehistoric life you can touch.<\/p>\n
From the moment they hatch until the end of their natural lives, children accompany a real living creature and learn to take responsibility in a playful way. Triops have a short lifespan, so no excessive emotional attachment develops \u2013 ideal as a first introduction to animal care and biological cycles.<\/p>\n
The red-coloured variant of Triops longicaudatus grows particularly quickly: the creatures reach sexual maturity after just around 14 days. The females then begin to bury their eggs in the sand at the bottom of the tank \u2013 an impressive instinct from prehistoric times. Once the population has naturally declined, the eggs can be dried, frozen and later reused for breeding. In this way, the cycle of life begins anew.<\/p>\n
Triops longicaudatus Red prefer temperatures between 25 and 28 \u00b0C and can be bred flexibly \u2013 using still mineral water, distilled water or even treated river or lake water.<\/p>\n
The Triops eggs in the breeding kits from Triops Galaxy are counted individually by hand, ensuring that the stated number of eggs is guaranteed and not based on estimates. This quality approach ensures transparency and consistent quality. Our Triops eggs come exclusively from local breeding.<\/p>\n
The Triops longicaudatus Red \u2013 Triops Mini Set is ideal for beginners looking to try their hand at their first Triops breeding project. It is also brilliant for families with children and those interested in science. It is equally suitable for amateur biologists, as well as for use in schools, projects and educational institutions. Experienced breeders also appreciate the controlled quality and guaranteed number of eggs as a reliable basis for successful breeding.<\/p>\n
Experience the real prehistoric world together with your children \u2013 lively, educational and fascinating. Right in your own home.<\/p>\n
