Caring of Triops: Soil in the Water

You don't have to put soil in the water; it’s up to you whether you will put soil or not. Larval Triops are filter feeders which mean that they eat protozoans, microscopic algae, and other organic particles. With the soil, the pH level is maintained, making the container friendlier for Triops. The survivability is not affected whether the container has soil or not.
