Batch 2: Day 8

6 healthy triops, the largest of the batch, Sharkey, is around 3/4 of an inch without his tail whiskers. He's a fat brute and seems to love feeding off my fingertip. Check out these pictures of Sharkey, one handsome fella:
    

I think I have a definite female but it's hard to be sure. I can't catch "her" in the act of feeding to verify the egg sacs that should be on the underside of the body.

Here are some pictures and videos from Day 8:
