Triops as safe food for axies??

[sherrisixxx]

Ok, this may sound like a rather strange question.
But I was thinking are triops suitable food for axies?Personally I didn't even know what a triop is, before I was flicking through a catalogue about science toys. They have a 'Triop World/Triop Kingdom: Grow a pet from the age of the dinosaurs. See them come alive when added to water, watch them double in size each day. (They sound similar to seamonkeys, but bigger)

Would it be safe to put them in my axie tank? Shoudn't the dried eggs be totally free of disease as they are sold to kids?

Would be great to hear if anybody has ever done this

The triops are very carniverous...

Oh, ok. Thanks Ed. So it would be possible for the triops to try to eat my axies gill or toe etc. That's a no-no for triops then.

Triops on their own make pretty cool pets.

I found this old discussion of Triops in the Live Food discussion section:
