Some clips of natural vernal pools in the American southwest desert in case anyone wants to go for a biotope:

A dedicated forum and online store for the Opae ula shrimp!
I've always found triops to be very interesting. Thanks for all the videos.

I'd move to Hawaii if Opae Ula would be my close neighbors!
They look so prehistoric! Thanks for the share.
Thanks. Would you mind keeping a journal of the fairy shrimp you bought? I would definitely be interesting in reading it and hearing about your experiences with that setup.
Sure thing, the seller got in touch an indeed they are 2 different species of fairy shrimp.
Awesome videos! the seller has a discount sale on at the moment on his eBay page (who i purchased mine from). I still haven't set my tank up for these guys yet as ive read they need rain water and a water change everyday? im not sure how important that is but i don't have a rain water catcher so im not sure if i should start them off in rain water and just change for RO as they grow and are less sensitive and don't rely on food that comes via the rain water.
I have heard of the rainwater thing as well. I think you are right, once they are a certain size, the rainwater is no longer needed.
