1er Jour:Voici ce que j'ai reçu:
- 1 Gélule avec très peu d'oeufs dedans (Loin des 50 Annoncés)
- 1 sachet de nourriture
- 1 Cuillère Doseuse
- 1 Pipette
Premier constat décevant.
Voici la notice fournie dans l'annonce eBay:
1. Fill your tank with about 1 litre (1/4 of gallon) distilled or bottled spring water. Make sure the water is 22 degrees Celsius (73 degrees Farenheit) and there is a light before adding the eggs. Put a piece of black paper behind the tank. If you bought a kit and it came with detritus, follow the instructions and add this.
2. Stir in your packet of triop eggs and wait for at least 18 hours. After this time, look closely at the tank. You should be able to see little white specks swimming over the black backround. Some of these are your triops! The other creatures (Fairy Shrimp, Cyclops, Water Fleas, etc.) will probably be eaten by the triops, so don't worry.
3. Wait another 3 days AFTER the majority of triops have hatched. After that waiting period, you can raise the water temperature to 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Farenheit)and have them on a day/night schedule. Feed them the food the kit gave you or use tropical fish pellets, not goldfish pellets. Crush them between two spoons, then add half of this to the tank.
4. Continue to feed once a day till they are 5 days old,then they eat 2-3 times a day. At 7 days and over, feed them a full pellet to each triops 2-3 times a day. Keep feeding till they don't eat anymore, then take out the excess food they don't eat. Have fun!
* Don't be disheartened if you can't see triops after 18 hours. Have patience.
* Be careful not to overfeed your triops, as this will make the water cloudier and disgusting. In addition, over feeding will drastically reduce the oxygen levels, meaning your triops will not grow and die, so clean that tank!
* Cleaning the tank: Triops naturally live in puddles, so they don't need clean water like aquarium fish. However, you can change the water after a week so the water doesn't get too dirty or smelly.
* Carefully pour away half the tank. Then top up with the water you have chosen at the same temperature as the tank your triops are in. This can be repeated several times if you aren't satisfied with the clarity of the water. Make sure it's the same water you used before.
* Always wash your hands after handling the tank. They swim in their own crap, and are covered in bacteria and fungi!
* Put in some sand or small gravel after 11 days with your triops so they can burrow and lay eggs in the substrate, but you don't have to as they lay 10-30 eggs a day!
* Try to use distilled or spring water. *Don't use tap water as councils add chemicals like fluoride and chlorine to it. Although this is good from a human's point of view, it's not for triops!
* Another major problem with tap water from some localities is the dissolved minerals it may contain. These salts can be a mixture of calcium, magnesium and sodium with less quantities of other minerals. These have been proven to reduce hatching in triops. When choosing water, it is advisable to obtain water that is as pure as possible and free from bacteria. Demineralised water (also known as de-ionised) is recommended. It is commonly available from supermarkets for putting in irons and topping up car batteries, as the previously mentioned salts found in tap water can damage these items as well. There are now many drinking waters available that are relatively pure. Simply refer to the bottles label to find out what is in it and avoid ones that contain any chlorine, chloromine or ozone.
Etant un bon élève, je suis à la lettre la notice, je mets de l'eau dans le bac, et je verses le contenu de la gélule dans celui-ci!
Ce qui donne un résultat très morne
2ème Jour:Le bac en eau avec chauffage et lampe 12h/jour, rien n'apparait:
3ème Jour:Mais je n'ai pas commandé d'oeufs de Daphnies ou d'artémias!!!
4ème Jour:
5ème Jour:J'aperçois bien des Artémias mais le reste est-ce vraiment des triops???
6ème Jour:J'ai décidé de rajouter une source d'air, pour cela, je brules le bout d'un tuyau afin de le boucher et je fais des trous avec une aiguille sur 2cm...
