Triops

Post by Mac Myers »

I guess the people who keep these as pets won't like the question... but does anyone raise Triops as food? :shock:

LOL!! I had the exact same question.

Actually I didn't raise them because they were too problematic as a viable food source. Lots of work for little gain IMO.

I had pretty much the same opinion. Not terribly productive or fast. They are cool critters though, but I let them die out.

I can get you in touch with someone that had good success breeding these guys and was using them as a secondary food source for her puffs, if you'd like.

No... not trying to confuse anyone. I'm just one of those new guys that thinks his ideas are so cutting edge and cool 8) that he is too dumb :drool: to use the search feature before asking a question that's already been asked and answered in great detail.
Wow... that really makes me sound Like an idiot. That Can't be it.



EDIT: Turns out that is pretty much it. :shock:
