Why are my triops eggs not hatching?
a) You didn't provide pure enough water. Triops eggs need very pure water to trigger them into hatching. Bottled water can have too much minerals in it. ... c) You didn't have the water temperature at around 22°C (±5, If it is too hot or too cold, then the Triops eggs will not hatch.

How long can Triop eggs lay dormant?
Unhatched eggs can survive for up to 100 years. Triops originally lived in parts of the world which were hot, but also experienced heavy rain. They evolved to survive long periods of drought, their eggs lying dormant for years in dried-up pools until the rains returned.
Why do triops swim upside down?
It would be very hard to kill triops from lack of oxygen. ... Even at very low oxygen levels, triops can survive for extended periods by swimming upside down at the water surface where oxygen levels are highest (they do this looking for food as well, the behavior is not necessarily indicative of low oxygen levels).
