5great replacement pack  Mar 07, 2008
By B. Patton
It was handy to be able to only order the eggs after the 4yr old spilled the first packet of the dust sized eggs. A few hatched. Two got good sized. Then one turned cannibal and ate half his friend. The murderer lasted another week or so- about 60 days all together- and got up to 1 1/2 inches before he died of unknown causes. Possibly guilt or indigestion. Kids took it pretty well and enjoyed them while they lasted.

5Triopolis is GREAT!!!  Jan 22, 2007

I got Triopolis for my brother, because he wanted triops, and I got him this. He loves it! It has 5 chambers, (assuming arranged like a + sign,) a center chamber, up, down, left, and right. eciting instructions: 1. pour water into container. 2. pour everything in ( directed as in instructions!!!) 3.wait a day or so. 4. see your new TRIOPS IN TRIOPOLIS!!! they do flips, jumps, and more tricks!!! no teaching required. you can also buy extra triops with food, as tagged below.

5Great...for triops.  Feb 28, 2011
By Adam
I love the little prehistoric cannibals. Triops are great pets and are great for classroom experiments. The ONLY problem I have encountered is that triops do not always hatch out of every egg(meaning you may put in 30 eggs and get 15 triops). I have done this many times, and I love the service. I was lucky enough to get it on the "Get this by Tomorrow" promotion. Overall, it's a great product and VERY fun. I find it really cool to see the little dudes grow so fast. plus the eggs keep longer than most eggs of other animals do (haha).
My Ideas for improvement:
None!

3Educational and Fun Pet  Sep 23, 2008
By Julie Ann Coy "JAC"
This toy is a fun and educational pet to raise. It teaches kids how to take care of a basic animal and shows them what some animals might have lived a long time ago. It is a good science project to do too.

Only two or so survive to reach an inch. Be prepared for some cannibalism. Nasty as hell when they start eating eachother.
