After reading your posts, I went out and bought a box of triops. Five hatched. It is amazing how fast they grow. What I was wondering is this: I have seen what appear to be dead triops in the tank but they are almost the same size as the living ones. Is this a molt? Do these little buggers molt as they grow? What's your experience?

Thanks!

Most (or all(?)) invertebrates do, I have just never seen it at such an accelerated rate.
