Triops Diary - 4th Day of the Death

Hi blog,

reporting.... the number of triops available is zero....

Conclusion, the temperature for growing triops MUST be around 28 - 30 Degree Celsius.

I touched the water, it was cold. NO wonder they died.... well, i think i will have to try the second patch next week. Wish me luck and lets pray for the dead one.... Sorry I am a lousy triops grower; my first time....

Triops Diary - 3rd Day of Growing

Hi blog,

Today is my 3rd day of growing triops. I checked CAREFULLY, there are 5 ~ 6 triops swimming in the tank. Too bad I can't take any video today. I JUST CAN't GET them focus in the camera. But I can say it double its size already. VERY exciting!!!

I noticed some students got more excited than I do. :)

I believe if everything go on smoothly, by next week the triops can be seem easily. (should be at least 0.5mm) Like this videos below shown first few days of triop growth

Stay tune. :)

For this moment, I decide to put up this notice of the selling of Triops growing kit at Tampines Toys"R"us for S$19.00.

Hmmm the box seems exciting and nice. But one weird about it, is the tank.... Hmmm weird.... How come got two opening at the side? I wonder.... those who buy it, please let me know what is it.

Oh it is late, See you blog.

Triops Diary - Setup of my Triops tank

Hi blog,
Guess what! I am just started setting up the triops tank. Thanks Mr Boon for his contribution of table lamp. Okay all set!

I act as a UGLY, FAT, SHORT, POOR and LOUSY role in my life movie.

Hi blog,

Usually I will try to look at the 'bright side' of my life, thinking of I am okay, average, whatever....

I realised, I am wrong.......

I am not okay or average. I am lousy and low rated person in my world. I suffered from laughers and mocking of what I am because I think I am okay and average.

NEW HOBBY!! Growing Triops!!

Hi blog,
I just started my new hobby on growing triops (scientific name: triops longicadatus). What are triops? Triops are living dinosaur fossil crustaceans, date back to the Triassic period, and it looks like horseshoe crab-liked, long-tail tadpole shrimp. Wow!!

I feel tired typing such a long description.

Interesting facts about triops
- it's basic prehistoric morphology has changed little in the LAST 70 million years!!
- they are family of crustacean include crabs and lobsters.
- they have a very short lifespan of 20 to 90 days only.
- their eggs are released in batches and have a thick shell and can stand freezing temperatures as well as drought.
- they can remain dry out completely for up to 20 years!! No wonder they still out-win the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
