Triops/Sea Monkeys

This page gives a great overall on keeping them long term...

If you do as I said keeping the tank water parameters good and taking eggs out and dying them periodically you can keep it going forever...

If I was doing it about every four weeks I would scoop out some of the sand/gravel and let it dry out on a small china tea saucer, after it's dry (say one or two weeks) scrape off the dried up sand/gravel and eggs and return them to the tank... Repeat every 4 weeks and you should have an never ending supply of triops hatching... But, beware you will need to keep the adults fed or they will eat the new hatches...

And at all times the water needs to be cleaned,and there should always be water.

What are the chances of my pets ( seamonkeys and Triops) mating?

Zero, for one they are not closely enough related to breed, second they can't survive in the same tank, brine shrimp (Sea Monkeys) need 'brackish water' aka slightly salty water, triops are fresh water aka no salt...

Well,could glass integration be ok

Myabe have each tank near oneanother.I am just curiou of what would happen.What relationships could form,or just to learn attitude mainly between both.

Ok,also what weather should they be in?Where i am now i could have people care for them,and hatch sea monkeys or more triops up at my house.
I plan on doing a experiment.
Just a small intergrating to different species to one another.

The water temperature should be between 73 and 85 F for you Triops. The chances of your Sea-Monkeys and Triops mating is zero. They are just too far apart genetically.

Should the air in tempature in the house be like,or can it be cold and still the Triops survive?

If you house is cooler then 72° you should have a heater in the tank to keep the tank warmer... If the water temp is below 72° they will not thrive, growth will be slowed, they will be lethargic, they won't breed as well, etc...
