Kane Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 These are not fish, but shield shrimp from the family Triopsidae. They do appear in some regions after a big rain or flooding. From an evolutionary standpoint, they have changed little since they emerged in the Triassic. 7 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puts me in mind of the old ads in comic books for these (also a form of shrimp): Remember for 10th grade marine sciences class, we had some sea monkies (pretty sure they're actually just little fairy or brine shrrimp). After one night they all suddenly died & it was likely the worst smell I've ever had to endure. 110% not worth it Dabled once with triops, got some to hatch but apparently are really sensitive to hard water/ excess food. Even under ideal conditions (proper water balance, big tank, etc.) they only live a few months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 They do have a remarkable but superficial resemblance to cephalaspid fish. Kind of like how larval water penny beetles resemble trilobites. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Triops Canciformis -- Their eggs can lie dormant until the next flood. I believe it is an endangered species. Mark.
