They wouldn't live very long in the treated water that your fish need and then your fish would certainly eat them - either when they are weak or actually dead. I would not mix these at all. It sounded fun though - just use the kit that it comes with and you'll be able to see them grow on their own!
Good luck!

Large ones are probably ok with fish of similar size. Small ones are likely to be considered as food by the fish. Be sure you are willing to lose the triops or fish when you try.

I actually know a few people that have added triops to their fish tank...I just don't know the outcome.
I guess it depends on the personality of your fish. They might survive, but then might not. If you want to experiment then try putting 1 or 2 in the fishtank. If you'd rather have them live, then no...don't add them

I don't know.. Triops are more similar to shellfish than "sea-monkeys" but it doesn't hurt to ask your local pet store before you plop them in the tank. Otherwise the fish might end up eating them or they might harm the fish. Do some compatibility research on you existing fish.

Wow, they are like over grown brine shrimp. I guess it depend s on the fish you have. If your fish are larger there is a good chance that they will eat them.
I have been looking around on the Internet about these things and they look like they are aggressive and might actually attack your fish. Keep them separate.

Most fish will eat them. They are similar to brine shrimp, which i feed to my aquarium fish (includeing a tank of platys) on a regular basis. Fish love em.

mollies would definately eat them and the danios would probably join in too. Have you ever noticed your mollies pecking at plants, the glass, or gravels? The like eating tiny creatures like this and peck around (kinda like chicken) looking for tinny animals.

great ones are probable pleased with fish of comparable length. Small ones are probably to be seen as food by utilising the fish. be beneficial to are prepared to lose the triops or fish once you attempt.

I can almost guarantee you that they will be eaten, probably just as fast as you put them in. Your fish will think it's a holiday and they are getting special treats.
