Triops Longicaudatus (aka Triops) are fascinating creatures that first came into existence during the Triassic era, long before T-Rex ruled the Earth. Their eggs evolved to survive periods of drought, only to hatch once there has been sufficient rainfall. This rare characteristic enables us to safely store them until a time when it is convenient to care for them. Their relatively simple care, fascinating properties, energetic behaviour & short life-span, makes them an excellent educational project for schools whilst being fascinating & fun for any family. This great value kit contains Triops eggs, instructions for their care, food, water conditioner & a handy Thermo-Strip" to ensure the water stays at the optimum temperature. The pack also
Includes:: a suitably-sized, plastic tank to hatch the Triops, with gravel to line the base & create a more attractive environment for them to swim in. An all-round educational product, conveniently providing everything required (apart from the water, of course!). "
