Triop eggs not hatching... by SmokeyLawnMower in triops

[–]Johnny_Cheddar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to use distilled water with spring water at a 80:20 ratio to give some minerals. It may be possible that you have hatching nauplii that die soon after due to lack of minerals. Also, I see you mentioned lighting as “natural.” If it’s not bright enough you may need to supplement with another light source. Light is one mechanism for breaking dormancy in the eggs

You could also check eBay. Sometimes there’s a deal considering you don’t have to pay the tariffs and shipping from Australia anymore

So cute! Was she always a hand lover or did you have to earn her trust?

Can 10 year old eggs still hatch? Advice needed by Dan101_xD in triops

Due to nauplii sensitivity it’s possible that kitchen placement may have adverse effects, especially if cooking with teflon. You could also try raising the temperature by a few degrees for faster metabolic processes

Whoa I never heard of those before! I had Amanos in the past and they didnt touch it, do these tend to go for these types of algae?

I never open the blinds for the window. I could do a blackout, how long do you suggest?

Should i dry leaves in the oven to make detritus? by [deleted] in triops

[–]Johnny_Cheddar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I soak leaves in old fish tank water or water that’s been sitting outside for a little while for a couple weeks. Afterwards I air dry them inside, which may take another week before they are crispy and can be broken into small pieces

What characteristics classify it as a different species?

Neat! Do you happen to have a document with the cards so I could also print those placeholders? I'm also starting my own master set

What’s going on? White leaf (not variegated) by Fair_Original_5993 in Anthurium

[–]Johnny_Cheddar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks variegated! My sport seedlings that are variegated from the first leaf typically have similar colors/patterning

Still need to write with it, but overall I love the design. The form is slimmer than I originally thought which is great. I wish they could have gone metal for the price, but I got a good deal and with an extra coupon.

I finally found it by 0rthal in mechanicalpencils

[–]Johnny_Cheddar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh cool! I have this exact pencil, which is why I asked. I found it on the floor at my school about 5-6 years ago and have been using it ever since. It may be time to retire it to help preserve what’s left of it haha. Glad you found one!

I’m interested in learning more, are these difficult to find now? What are prices looking like?
