    I did the same thing :D They were so cool to watch and interact with. I felt the same way about Sea Monkeys, and then realized they're just brine shrimp lol. I definitely think you'll enjoy the Triops, Boywithafishtank.

    Wonder if they would survive shipping from Denmark to the US. And then how well would they do if they cant fly around in a closed tank the way they fly/hop from puddle to puddle in the wild? Was thinking about a 4' tank 12" tall (33 Gallons), with the wire lid on it to keep them from escaping, then set up a dry raised spot in the middle so that there would be two small lagoons/puddles at each end.

    I don't mean to hijack your thread and apologize for going off topic, this got me curious.
