is it safe to put one of them Aquarium Heaters in with triops cos i heard some filters can harm them?
my house is quite cold about 18-19 c and the water sould be around 22c for them but i don't know if they will be ok if i put a heater with them
Yes it is actually recommended. I read through a couple of site and i found this on one of the sites:
"Using a fish tank heater on a timer, 10-12 hours on, 12-14 hours off. Set the heater such that it is aiming for a temp above actual room temperature and comes on in the early morning and goes off in the evening. This way, the heater kicks on in the morning and the water warms up to the target temperature by late morning/early afternoon – just like what happens when the sun comes up with a natural pool. Then it holds the high temperature through the day and gradually cools off through the night until the heater comes back on again – just like what happens when the sun goes down with a natural pool."
I got the above information from this site: http://mytriops.com/articles/triops_care.stm
It's very interesting; hope that helped a little.
Um, go to a pet store? Buy some books?
