The Triops Longicaudatus is also referred to as the American species of shellfish because the Triops Longicaudatus mostly occurs in America and was found there first. The Longicaudatus is the most popular species of the Triops genera, which is why the Longicaudatus is one of the best-studied species of the Triops. The Longicaudatus is a remarkable adaptor. It adapts excellently to its environment, such as the small streams that form in spring and dry up completely in summer. The Triops Longicaudatus already lived at the time of the first dinosaurs and still inhabits the earth with us today. The color of its carapace is a light shade of brown. From an age of about two weeks, he is able to lay his Triops eggs. He does this when his egg sacs are full by burying his Triops eggs in the sand. Adult Triops Longicaudatus can lay up to 200 eggs, also known as cysts, per day and usually reach a maximum age of 12 weeks. The Triops Longicaudatus owes its popularity above all to the large toy manufacturers Kosmos and Clementoni. Both use the Tadpole Shrimp species Triops Longicaudatus for their Triops sets. Since these beginner sets have now been sold several hundred thousand times, the Triops Longicaudatus with its gray shell has also been able to make a name for itself all over the world.Triops Longicaudatus - The American Tadpole Shrimp
Why is the Triops Longicaudatus so well known?
How can I breed the Triops Longicaudatus?
The Longi, as insiders affectionately call it, is actually relatively easy to breed. As with all Triops species, special attention should be paid to the temperatures and sufficient light. The light is very important, especially for a numerous hatch. Once the triops have hatched, the light plays a subordinate role. What should not be neglected even after hatching is the temperature. The Triops Longicaudatus feels very comfortable at temperatures around 25° Celsius. However, it shouldn't be much colder or warmer, as his organism often can't handle it very well. It is best to use a breeding tank for rearing, in which one to five liters of water fit. You shouldn't put in too much effort. The container should be clean, then you put the water and the Triops Longicaudatus breeding batch in it, making sure that the temperature is about 25° Celsius and point a lamp at it. Now you have to be patient, but after 24 - 48 hours you will see the first nauplii twitching in your breeding tank. They are very tiny and also extremely sensitive. You don't have to do anything at the moment. Wait another day and then you can feed some of our Spirulina Algae Powder or what we call our young animal feed. Don't feed too much, otherwise the water will become cloudy, but also not too little, otherwise the Triops Longicaudatus nauplii won't find the food in the breeding tank and we don't want them to starve.
I hope you really want to grow your own Triops Longicaudatus and I wish you a lot of fun; and success on your voyage of discovery into prehistoric times.
The Triops Longicaudatus is a fascinating Tadpole Shrimp, which is very suitable for beginners.
