Triops Play Park

Posted on by Merry

Unique kit contains a domed aquarium and 2 different species of Triops that grow what some call “living fossils” since they are identical to their prehistoric kin. We selected two species that have wildly different behavior. The domed play park aquarium has toys for Triops to play with. Kit includes a boat to push, a wheel to spin, a dino-slide to slide down, and a tree to climb. Kit also includes a dino-egg, and glow dino-bone. Triassic Triops brand eggs are lab grown and not taken from the wild. Eggs are added to natural marine sand for ease of use.
