We fed them pretty well; I've never heard of Triops that weren't cannibalistic.
The Hydrae are exceptionally interesting, we just collect glass jars of lake water and watch them grow over a few weeks before releasing them .. its quite an adventure watching the budding occur, seeing the growth, watching the nematodes being chomped on ..
- froj 3y agoMaybe I need to refresh my memory. I should have some eggs lying around still. The nematodes also come with the lake water?
- boffinAudio 3y ago>The nematodes also come with the lake water? In our hydrae experiments, yes, they came with the lake water .. you can see some pictures here if you're interested, there's a video of the battle between nematode and hydra as well - I did this experiment with my kids many times over the years, its always fascinating to see what grows and what eats and what stays behind .. https://imgur.com/user/waterplusalgaeequalshydra https://imgur.com/user/waterplusalgaeequalshydra Bonus retro-computing stuff there too.. ;) >Triops eggs Let me know how it goes! I love the Triops arena ..
