Oooh we have Mr. Meanass Jr. and Surviver Jr.!

I left the empty tank standing on the table, intending to let the tank slowly dry out to mimick the drought season in nature. Triops eggs aren't SUPPOSED to hatch without a period of drying first, it's a survival mechanism to ensure that eggs don't start hatching in drying-up pools which may cause the babies to die before they reach adulthood. For some really odd reason though, I found 2 babies in the tank today! Once again, one of them was slightly larger than the other (Mr. Meanass' progeny, no doubt about it!)

Well, I'm seriously not into pampering these crustaceans right now, with all these troubles I'm already struggling with. So I'll just leave them alone for now, and pop in a flake or 2 of food once every couple of days for them. Thinking of hatching a batch of eggs now though, so that I can place a tank of them in the living room for CNY - it'll be a nice conversation piece.
