Ephesians‬ ‭6:10‭-‬18‬ ‭Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.❤

Pro tip: Keep two aquariums. One that you can leave to dry up and refill for new young, and one that you can move the adults into to avoid them dying.

I started to grow triops several years ago. After reading the package instructions for hatching, it wadn't for me. The instructions are so precise. My thought was anything that has lived for 200 million can't be that pucky about their environment. Thank you for your pstience in this endevpur.

Good video, subbed. I remember doing Triops when I was a kid and-miraculously-it actually worked. I presume this was because my parents did all the actual work while I just ogled through the plastic looking at them. That said, I don't think I gave them quite such luxurious living conditions, we just used the generic plastic tub and a bit of sand like they say in the instructions. Suffice to say, I was horrified when I found out about the cannibalism. One day I had 5-6 swimming around and then I blinked and there was only one left-one huge, fat monster of a Triop who was too full from his brothers and sisters to move beyond a saunter. We named him Homer because he was so fat, and he lived a glorious life of complete isolation until he died of natural causes at the ripe old age of around 2 months old.

Just discovered your channel and I'd be remiss if I didn't tell you that your dry sense of humor and videos in general have significantly brightened my mood. I'm not someone who laughs very easily but I've been consistently laughing at your jokes and having a shockingly good time tagging along for all of your experiments. I'm honestly astonished you don't have a larger following by now; it's clear you put a lot of work into these videos and there's never a moment watching them where I'm not fascinated, entertained and excited to see what happens next. I think success is inevitable for someone like you and you have a very clear talent for educating people and making them laugh. It's a really great combo and one that reminds me a lot of zefrank's "True Facts" series in all the best ways. Super excited to see more from you!

I saw similar organisms - shield shrimp - in water on the top of Uluru (Ayers Rock) Australia it was amazing to think their little eggs had been rolling around in the dust for decades waiting for rain! And they'd been doing this for hundreds of millions of years ❤

Informative and entertaining video, I loved the fun fact at the end there 🤣 These guys are like freshwater shrimps, I believe the kits say to use distilled water because the additives they give you probably contain the correct amount of calcium and other minerals they need to grow and properly molt. Tap water varies in these minerals, some places have hard water with a lot of minerals and other places have soft water with very little minerals. So starting with distilled water gives everyone the same base to then add the packet of additives to. Calcium & magnesium are most important for animals with shells - snails, shrimps, crawfish, etc.

This is an awesome (and funny, and educational) way to end a really stressful day. Thank you! 💜 Edit: RIP Bob.

You are totally great opening the boxes🙂

Great work! I love the humor and watching the journey of these triops grow

I i remember correctly the eggs don't always need to dry out, i think there are different type of eggs and when conditions are getting rough they make special eggs with a thicker shell that can dry up and survive for a long time after the pool drys up

Amazing they survived for ages when it is so hard to keep them alive .I like your videos , they are very funny .

Your dead-pan delivery is so funny. And you can always "Start over" with any eggs left in the aquarium when the parent dies of old age, if you want.

Hey long time no see!!! i’ve seen the channel grow throughout the years and the content get better!!! thanks for showing all types of animals and arthropods. i’ll check up later to see your progress!!

Did you know that to hatch all the eggs u need to put them in water then fish out hatched triops then take the rest of the eggs and dehydrate them then put them in water again and repeat the process until all of them hatch? Thats cuz the eggs have a system that prevents them from hatching all at once cuz in the nature the pools dont last long and if they all hatched in one pool and the pool would dry out then they would all die leaving no eggs behind

So chuck some tadpoles in there to feed him, he might grow even bigger. I'm interested to see how long he will live for if the water doesn't dry up & has plenty of food, keep up the awesome videos 👍
