Hey everyone,
I figured triops would be a good topic for another potential pinned thread. They're not as popular as crabs or crayfish, but they have a multitude of species, are easy to keep, and would benefit from a more organized community.

I believe there are three people/places that have a fair amount of species-specific information, as well as a list of species (and related creatures, such as fairy shrimp):


Maybe we could use this thread as for general branchiopod info as well, since care for triops, fairy shrimp, "sea monkeys," and clam shrimp is all fairly similar (since they are all related). Looking forward to everyone's contributions!

I like them. Tricloptic trilobite mimics would indeed be a cool thread to add.

I'm all for it.
Reminiscent of 'Mini Horseshoe Crabs' swimming around.
Triops have that Ancient Look about them.
