Brachiopoda

i can't see brachiopods anymore without thinking of South Park's Sea People.

Let us know how it goes and where you bought them from, cuz I've been looking into it as well but am kind of broke for now.

Years ago, I bought one called the Triops DLX kit. It has one of those small kritter keeper cages and I ended up with about 5 healthy ones. I moved them into a 5 gallon tank, but eventually they died and I had none left because the filter sucked up all my babies. Stupid mistake but that was a long time ago. A competent fish keeper can keep these healthy indefinitely, but they should have fine substrate for them to lay eggs in and a proper filter or bubble rock that won't genocide them all.

Got some eggs a few years ago in a kit. Tried to hatch them once, but it didn't seem to work for some reason. Maybe i'll try it again now, I still have some eggs left somewhere.

I have about 15 different species in a box somewhere

mostly Triops, but also Branchinecta and other fairy shrimps and Lepidurus as well as different Conchostraca, if I remember right

Maybe I'll start trying to breed them again
Let's see if I can find them

How did you harvest their eggs? Did you just randomly scoop up and dry some substrate or are you using a bare bottom tank? Have you tried getting and breeding rarer species?

i dried all the substrate and bagged it

I bred a few rarer species like Lepidurus cryptus, Branchinecta mackini (sadly, I haven't found a B. gigas source yet), Triops granarius, an unidentified, yellowish Triops sp. from Niger etc...

And of course the usual longicaudatus (parthenogenetic and gonochoric), different variants of cancriformis, the two aussie species etc


Also different ithe Fairy- and clamshrimps as well as triops species

Might start up all this shit again or sell it, let's see

Dammit, I saw the OP in the catalog but didn't see the text, got my hopes up for a Brachiopod thread (you're talking about Branchiopods; that N is the difference between "arm foots" and "gill foots").

I raise fairy shrimp for my fish, but triops just freak me out...
