Mixed Crustacean Dry Eggs

DESCRIPTION

Just add spring water to the dormant eggs in this kit and grow your own live culture of mixed crustacean including Daphnia, Triops, and fairy shrimp!

Daphnia have compound eyes, a second antennae, and a pair of abdominal setae. They have a transparent body and make excellent subjects under a microscope to observe a heart beating. They can also be used to feed hydra.

Triops have a large shielded "head", thorax covered with an oval shield-shaped shell and a small third median eye, and a narrower, forked tail.

Fairy Shrimp have 10 pairs of leg-like appendages called phyllopods used for swimming. They swim slowly and belly-side up.
