Why did the triops eat the others instead of the water fleas?
I know there are lots of questions, but i have nothing to do except for making sure the LAST “GOOD” LIFE IN THE TANK won’t die!! Q: I don’t have the answers to all of your questions, but I do know some of them. The water fleas are too small for the larger Triops to bother eating, so they don’t. The Triops don’t actually “hide” behind things. If they are back behind something, that must be due to some other issue. They like to dig, so their might be something behind this decoration that makes them feel like they are digging. Or, it could be some other reason. Triops swim around trying to sweep things into their legs to then grab and eat. Sometimes they will come up on the side of the tank, sometimes they will go along the top of the water, and other times they swim across the bottom. The Triops do have eyes, and thus the 60W bulb might just be too bright for them if it is shined in their eyes. With Triops, the ones that hatch earlier can grow to a larger size faster than the later hatch
