While the Taliban stepped up attacks on Afghan government targets, their gains remained limited to non-strategic rural areas. No US soldier was killed after Trump's deal. Critics argue this showed that, when backed by a skeleton US force, Kabul could hold the line against the insurgents. A battlefield stalemate was more desirable than a full Taliban victory, they said.
He urged Biden to increase support for Afghan troops rather than leave. Biden, who had long advocated exiting Afghanistan, launched a review after taking office.
In April, he announced his decision: the US would leave, but the departure deadline was pushed back three months, to the end of August. Answer: If there are a few triops in the tank and one of them dies, just remove the dead one to avoid contamination. Answer: If there is at least eight hours of natural lighting during the day, there is no need to use the lamp. Answer: Yes, you leave the light on for the baby triops at night.
If there is not enough natural lighting during the day, you can leave the light on until the triops are bigger. Answer: Triops are hermaphrodites which means they are both genders. So, if you have two triops, you don't have to worry if they are male or female, and they can still reproduce. Answer: Yes, triops can survive in cold water provided the surrounding temperature is not freezing cold!
Answer: Australian Geographic stores sell the Triops kit. Question: Can you use a water filter for fish instead of changing the water every day? Answer: If you are able to hatch some triops eggs, there shouldn't be a problem breeding more triops. Question: My triops eggs are bright pink colour is that supposed to be like that? Answer: Triops eggs can be of any color from white to orange, brown or black, so I am not surprised if they are pink or red color!
Question: What do I do if my Triops aren't hatching, even under the right conditions? Answer: If triops eggs are not hatching, they may not have been stored properly and not viable. Answer: Play sand has high amount of minerals that can kill triops so it is not suitable for triops. Question: I think one of my triops had an unsuccessful molt and is now trapped and stuck to the exoskeleton and some other gunk.
Should I leave my half-molted triop alone or try to help separate it? Answer: Unfortunately, unsuccessful molt is usually associated with triops that are not so healthy, so there is nothing much you can do about it. Health Problems. Freshwater Pets.

However, at least with T. As a another issue to consider, there is some evidence with T. All in all, the exact effects of temperature on size and longevity are still not fully understood so do what seems best or most convenient to you. That way you are certain not to cook your triops! You can use any artificial light so long as the triops are receiving several hours a day. Even the ambient light in a bright room is sufficient if not optimal.
I prefer fluorescent aquarium lights because triops are beautifully colored and the light makes them look their best. Some people report giving their triops light 24 hours a day, and some of the kit instructions even recommend this for heating the tank. I hate this recommendation: you can buy a 25 or 50W heater for about half the price of cheap desk lamp While there have been no studies of photoperiod effect on triops to date, it seems unlikely that this would not have some effect on their physiology.
While adult triops are tolerant of wide ranges in water quality, the eggs are sensitive to the osmotic potential of the water. If your water is particularly hard, the eggs might not hatch. Right after the pool fills, the water has very little dissolved mineral and organic material content. This indicates that it is a new pool and there are no predators about. If in doubt, use distilled water. On the other hand, keep in mind that pure distilled water will kill triops and just about anything else aquatic for that matter as there will be nothing for the newborn to eat.
The purpose of the detritus that comes with eggs is to provide a properly conditioned environment of the right amounts of minerals and dissolved organics for the larvae to eat. It is possible if a tank is significantly larger than four or so litres, it may not be sufficient and the water see below for my suggestion will actually kill the newly hatched larvae. The eggs require more than just water to hatch, they also require light.
After hatching, the free swimming larval triops use the light shining on the pool to find the water surface where they are more likely to find warm temperatures, high oxygen levels, and the sort of food they need. Although both T. In fact, although I have seen anecdotal reports of warmer temperatures being better for hatching, in laboratory studies, warmer temperatures actually decreased hatching rates by a significant amount.
The closer environmental indicators are to showing an ideal habitat, the more eggs that hatch. Fortunately, as it so happens, the optimal hatching temperature for both species is just about room temperature. One method for hatching that can minimize potential problems is to use small containers, such as as pint or quart jars, for hatching the eggs.
Add enough of the egg mixture to lightly cover the bottom of the container and fill to a depth of several centimeters with distilled water.
After the eggs hatch I usually add some aquarium plant cuttings as well. Survivability of juveniles is high in these small, controlled conditions and after they get to 0. If you are certain there are no larval triops by this time, something is probably wrong. The eggs generally will not hatch after these intervals because the late starters will never catch up in size before they become snacks to the larger triops, another neat adaptation. Causes for the eggs not hatching or larvae not surviving likely fall into one of two categories.
The first is the water is too hard, its osmotic pressure is very high. In this case the eggs will not hatch. The second cause is the water is too soft, pure water will promote a high rate of egg hatching but will actually kill the larvae. When in doubt, use a smaller container for hatching. If you definitely fail, try again and start with distilled water and a small container as your base. Larval triops are tiny, less than 0. Wait a few days before throwing in the towel. For the first days, do nothing other than keep them on a regular light cycle.
You may also begin feeding very small amounts of powdered food. Suitable foods until they reach a size of several millimeters are: dried yeast, food specially formulated for juvenile triops, crushed fish food, crushed adult triops food, food for marine invertebrate filter feeders, algal cultures, etc. Overfeeding can lead to high bacteria levels, which can lead to sharp pH shifts and lowered oxygen levels — this can lead to dead triops, be careful with your enthusiasm! There are a number of triops specific foods sold by people who sell eggs, but you are by no means limited to that.
They can and will eat any organic matter in the pool with them that they can fit in their mouths. The number one food for feeding triops in the lab is Tetra-min fish flakes. Basically, any fish food, flake or pellet, floating or sinking, will make a good staple for feeding triops.
They are not fussy! See our Recipe page for idea on what to feed your Triops! Triops need to be fed at least twice a day and preferably more often, particularly as they get larger. Triops can be pretty filthy critters. This will help to keep your triops visible as well as cut down on the level of nitrogenous wastes in the water, which can alter pH dangerously and make respiration less efficient.
Use a siphon tube or other method to remove about one-fourth of the water from their container and then add fresh water. Depending upon the size of the container and the degree of natural biological filtration, it may be more or less necessary to perform water changes. A 5 gallon tank with 5 cm or more of substrate and some plants is going to remain much cleaner and clearer naturally than a 1 gallon goldfish bowl with no substrate. With filtration, it is less necessary to perform water changes because the water is kept clean by the filtration and biological action will break down nitrogenous wastes.
What you can do, though, is gently stir up the top of the substrate and after a minute or so siphon water from the middle of the tank. Test your knowledge - and maybe learn something along the way.
