Hey all,

I picked up a bag of Triops eggs from triopsking.com but haven’t had any luck getting them to hatch yet, so I’m wondering if I’m messing something up.

Setup:

- 20L aquarium with demineralized water + one bottle of mineral water

- Temp is stable around 24–25°C

- Using a small separate hatching container floating inside the tank (same water, just for temp stability)

- Lighting: 3W COB LED strip (4000–4500K), pretty bright

What I’ve tried:

- First attempt: left the sand + eggs in the container for 2 weeks → nothing

- Second attempt: tried again with the other half of the bag → now another 2 weeks in, still nothing

So yeah, two attempts, zero hatchlings so far.

Am I missing something obvious? Any tips to improve hatch rates?
