Triops complete set

Experience prehistoric life at home with our Triops set

Many may still remember the days when YPS booklets not only offered exciting stories and adventures, but also occasionally contained unique supplements such as Triops eggs. These fascinating prehistoric crustaceans, which you could raise yourself at home, aroused the interest of many young naturalists and are still a symbol of a playful introduction to the world of biology today. Inspired by this nostalgic learning fun, we now offer the Triops complete set in various sizes. Our unique, high-quality set not only brings back old memories, but also provides fascinating new insights into the lives of these prehistoric creatures, complete with everything needed to raise these fascinating crustaceans in an optimal environment.

The Triops complete set includes a specially equipped aquarium with a capacity of 5, 10 or 13 liters, depending on the model. Each set includes an energy-efficient LED lamp that creates the optimum lighting conditions for the Triops and the plants included in the set. A powerful filter ensures clear and clean water, essential for the health of your Triops.

The enclosed volcanic sand serves as a natural substrate that helps the Triops to feel like they are in their original habitat. The plants in the set help to create an ecologically balanced habitat and provide hiding places and food for the Triops. The volcanic rock in the set is not only a visual eye-catcher, but also provides additional surfaces for the microfauna that are essential for a healthy aquarium.

In each set you will also find around 50 Triops eggs that are just waiting to be hatched by you. These fascinating prehistoric crustaceans, which populated the earth millions of years ago, offer you the unique opportunity to experience the development of an organism from egg laying to adult animal up close. The enclosed Triops food is specially tailored to the nutritional requirements of Triops and supports their growth and health.

Whether you are an experienced aquarist or just starting out in the hobby, the Triops complete sets offer an exciting and educational experience. Choose between sizes S5, M10 and L13, depending on how much space you have available and your interest in this unique ecosystem. Immerse yourself in the prehistoric world of Triops and enjoy the fun and fascination that this living piece of Earth’s history brings to your home.
