The water has turned kind out green so I have to scoop them out with a spoon and transfer them to a cup with some water. On the spoon there is no water at all cause it is drained so I want to know how long they can survive out of water. I also need some tips on how to change the water. Thanks for the help.
Answers:
You will kill them if you do a full water change. Poor some of the dirty water into a cup and get the triops in there with it. (be sure to save at least 1/3 of the water)
clean the container then add new spring water (never use tap water). poor back the 1/3 water with the triops in it and enjoy
The longest I had a triop was about six months. They are fun though, but tap water or bottled drinking water will kill them - so does full water changes as we found out.
You could just take an empty cup and dunk it into the tank and scoop them into it. I would just drain out the water and put in some fresh bottled water. Don't use tap.
