Triops are Crustaceans that are known from fossil records to have existed up to 300,000,000 years ago. This starter kit contains everything you need for successfully hatching Triops eggs – including feed and complete facilities for rearing and observation – so you can be close to the action when the small crustaceans hatch. In only a few days, they will hatch, change their armour, dart through the water and even breed! Our guarantee: Triops eggs in all Thames & Kosmos sets come exclusively from controlled and sustainable laboratory breeding and are not taken from the wild
