8 triops going strong!
925912
I put the eggs I received in water eight days ago now and I currently have 8 happy, healthy triops! They are getting huge and about ready to move out of their nursery.

I had previously purchased a different kit from Toyops that only contained food and eggs. I don't know if it was an err on my part or if either the food or eggs were flawed, but after hatching twelve triops within 24 hours from that kit, they all started dying after day 3 and were completely gone by day 6. It was quite heartbreaking, especially since I don't know if it was my fault or not. This kit, the Toyops Triops Hatchery, came with baby food pellets which seemed to really jump start the babies' growth!

Now, my two slight complaints are the following:
1. The hatchery really isn't big enough to last eight days. With my eight triops, they would have barely any room by day 5 if I had used the hatchery. Instead, I used a tiny reptile keeper I bought at a pet store. The hatchery that came with the kit is also extremely flimsy. I wouldn't use it for anything living. Instead, I used it when I was cleaning to look through the removed debris for any baby triops I may have accidentally removed. It works perfectly for that.
2. If I had followed the feeding instructions exactly, they would have been way overfed. The baby food pellet it said to put in at the same time as the eggs lasted four or five days before they needed another, whereas the instructions say to add half a pellet on day 3. One pellet is a LOT of food and even my eight triops didn't eat it all very fast.

The picture attached may be confusing, so I'll try to explain my set up. I put the small reptile keeper in a glass bowl filled with water. You can see I have a fish bowl heater in that bowl so the triops hatchery is indirectly heated. I keep it around 80 degrees ferenheit and monitor it with two different thermometers: one that came with the kit and one I purchased. As per the instructions, I used Petco Betta Water. Also, instead of only putting a few eggs in (it suggested 1/3rd of the eggs), I put the entire amount of eggs.

If everything goes wrong after this point, it is 100% on me and not the fault of the kit. The kit really set me up for success with the baby food pellets and added instructions. To clarify, it seems that the baby food pellets and extra instructions were added after the kit was made, so every kit may not have them.

They are working fine.  I did have a little trouble with the sockets staying on the 3/8 drive.

I love then, they work so well! They do last the 8 hours, and are just great for the price! Very satisfied!

Packed with soaring trio solos, enthralling artistry, passionate artistry and classy
  melodic trio sounds, The Pat Bianchi Trio gave another enduring hit with `3-Osity, a
  organ trio date that also ranks along with his finest and beloved albums.  Released
  in 2005, his trio (known as Tri-Ocity from 2000 to 2006) showcased an atmospheric
  hit that gave jazz fans and growing legions of admirers a highly sophisticated piece
  of music making where it features brilliant guitar solos from the band's guitarist and
  timeless beauty which is both exhilarating and relaxing for the senses.  Starting off
  with his version of McCoy Tyner's Inception, the track set then serve up a fresh set
  of original compositions like the beautifully-crafted Snow Interlude  (Quiet After The
  Storm), the electrifying hit Scufflin, Dienda, Off Shore and Second String, where he
  showcases his composing skills a step even further. Plus, Bianchi performs superb
  takes on classic standards such as Jimi Hendrix' The Wind Cries Mary, The Whole
  Thing, Steve Allen's This Could Be The Start Of Something Big, and even Joanne
  Brackeen's Trinkle Trinkle, which he and his Tri-Ocity played with equally satisfying
  results. There's plenty of excellent organ trio virtuosity to look up to on `3-Osity that
  this trio have to offer as they became part of a generation of jazz organists to move
  past the boundaries of the Hammond B-3 organ repertoire as they give us a joyous
  and fun listening experience that will always remain as timeless as ever.

I personally love this packet, and that's saying a lot because I have failed at raising these guys over 4 times. I was giving my last go and finally I got hatchlings. Today's day three and I'm happily staring at my sole baby triop swimming in the tank. Lovely but can take a while to really nail the right conditions

I have several cds from this group. How three folks can produce music like this is amazing. Everyone in this trio is a star and no one is just background. keep the music going!

Got my 8 year old daughter a set of 3 of these books and she really loves them!

So cute and the grand kids love it! I bought three quads. Different of course, because I bought them for 18 month triplets. They all figured how to push the button to make it go easily. Three going at one time is hilarious ! Very good buy!

They showed up exactly as pictured, the color is beautiful and all 8 were in great shape. They will make excellent single-serving pot pies or shapherds pies, if a little small (I could probably eat two at once if I don't make sides).
i haven't gotten much use yet, so I can't speak to how they endure wear, but they seem very sturdy.

We bought eight of these, as far as I know, they are all working fine.  The choice of three different adapters was a definite selling point.

Yay! Got my package. It came with great  clear instructions and had EVERYTHING I needed. They even included baby triop food as well as limestone. This is definitely what you should get if you want  easy to raise and fun triops :).

All were alive but 3, and they always put in extra just in case. I will continue to order from them.
