i have been growing triops with kits like this since i was a kid. i bought one of these kits recently and think its the best kit out there but the instruction manual has a lot of typos as well as some instructions i don't agree with based on personal experience. from Amazon.com This was a very educational hands on toy that I gave to my grandsons. They enjoyed seeing the creatures come to life. from Amazon.com Then, after a few days, they've grown quite large. I managed to have a SeaMonkey in there too, so, it was double the fun. I have 8 Triops, none ate each other, as the others have stated. Though, I've made sure that they are all fed pretty well, and they are pretty equal in size, so, it seems kind of pointless to go after one of their own when they could potentially die in the process and they have plenty of food around them. from Amazon.com This is a very cool product, and one of my personal favs. If you like sea monkeys then you simply have to buy this kit. My triops got about an inch and a half long and are fun to watch swim around, This is deff something to spend 15 dollars on, and also very educational for younger children from Amazon.com Rooting for the little ones and punishing the big one that is mean like a god ruling over his fearful subjects. In some ways I worry that a child who rules over them will go mad with power, eventually resulting in his/her demise (see comment about potentially toxic nutrient pack). I don't think this is likely though, considering there are plenty of outside bugs that received similar treatment by me as a child and I turned out fine (if you consider a 24 year old developing a minor deity complex over little shrimp like creatures in a tiny tank "fine"). Anyway, best of luck. from Amazon.com I am 32 years old and this is just the lastest of my Triops purchases. I have bought them from all over,from science catalogs to museum gift shops. from Amazon.com I bought 3 kits for Christmas gifts for my nephews. We'll see how much they enjoy them, not to mention the Parent's reaction!It looks like fun, although I will be purchasing "replacement" eggs/formula/food for the future. from Amazon.com I bought this as a present for my boyfriend. He had Triops before and wanted more. They are the neatest things I've ever seen. from Amazon.com Assuming we'd be growing some brine shrimp or something we threw them in some spring water and let em go. After a day or so we were about to throw them out, but noticed a small amount of life squirming in the bowl. The grew and after a few days we had a handfuk of triops getting bigger and bigger. They were awesome until they started eating each other. from Amazon.com I didn't buy this for a child. Nope. I'm 30 and I decided it was high time to get myself a triops. It was a bizarre and rewarding experience. from Amazon.com
