Triops

Today I was at VilVite senteret in Bergen for a lecture in biochemestry (MOL100) and evolution and ecology (BIO110), and as I was there my attention was drawn against their little souvenir shop with lot of different science products for children. And before I got to think I stood there with a box with Tripos sp. eggs.

After what I have fund out after loots of reading about care for these little creatures it seems like have got my hands on the species Triops longicaudatus. But I wouldn't know for sure before they hatch.

So when I came home this evening I filled a box with water and added half of the box with eggs, and after what I have read I just have to wait in 24-48 hours before I will see them swimming around.

HugeSpider is watching after all my other animals now, exept from Aristoteles and my C. elegans, Chisaii, and of couse Balto. Bacause he has watched after my animals for a while now, we (and my family) have disided that I'm not capable of taking care of all my animals anylonger.
