Originally from America, these Triops are athletic swimmers as well as skillful at digging in the sand. With this Triops-species it will not get boring in your aquarium. The T. Longicaudatus likes temperatures of 24-28 ° Celsius best. As a consequence of the warm temperatures, Longicaudatus grow a bit faster than other Triops-species.

Morphologically unchanged ever since, the Triops Longicaudatus are characterized by a long tail and a silvery shimmering shell. They can reach a realistic size of 5 to 7 cm and a lifespan of two to three months. Due to this comparably low life expectancy, Tadpole Shrimp are very well suited as a first pet for children and teenagers likewise. They can prove for the first time that they can take care of animals responsibly.

After two weeks already, will Triops Longicaudatus reach sexual maturity and from that date onwards, they are able to produce Triops-eggs and release them into the sand.
