Batches 4 and 5: The beginning

Here we go again!
EDIT: The last batch was a huge disappointment: only 3 hatchlings, 2 of which were weak and swimming sparsely right off the bat. They all tanked within 7 days. I'm not even going to bother posting any details. So that's my excuse for this dead entry!

I have a new batch (5) going since 10-7: many hatchlings and flying all over the place, chewing on the detritus and eating all that delectible crud. I supplemented with a crushed betta pellet this morning.

I bought a cheap 1-gallon setup with undergravel filtration for the critters once they've hardened themselves a bit - this is a first for me and I'm dying to see how it goes. (Yoinks... probably not a good choice of words condsidering my luck lately.)

And as always, keep posting your own Triops stuff. Jokes and comics too! Come on people, they're fun to draw.
