Wanted: Cultures live food

Hi I am looking for different cultures of live food for tropical fish. I have micro worm.

 

put a bucket of water outside then you have mosqito larva.

 

I'm currently looking for a daphnia culture. Have micro worms as well. What cultures are you looking for?

 

Bannana worms etc

 

But why when micro, walter and banana can be used interchangeably?

 

Because I want to feed my fish different cultures vary it a bit

 

These worms do vary in size, but offer similar nutritional value. It's handy when you've got very small fry, and then use each culture to progress onto larger food items. Banana worms being the smallest, and microworms the largest. Another handy thing about having a smaller worm (such as banana worm) is that it is suspended in the water column for longer, providing greater access time for the fry.

Nano Aquatics has some Walter worms you can order for fairly cheap, but shipping seems to be the catch. Try order with friends to split costs.

 

Hi thanks that is exactly exactly what I mean I have paradise gourami fry and only have micro worms and not sure if they are eating 1 week old tomorrow

 

Have they been swimming freely for a week? If so, they have been eating. Fry otherwise die from starvation rapidly - we're talking periods of hours to days, depending.

 

How big are betta fry in comparison to paradise gourami fry?

Not to sure but the paradise fish is even smaller than a guppy baby

 

should be the same size as betta fry then. mine accepted microworms from first day of free swimming without any issues

 

Is there anyone in the westrand that wuld be willing to help with a culture pls. I wuld greatly apreciate it

 

I can help with a microorganisms culture

 

Good day, we're in Richards Bay, and looking for Daphnia and Blood and Tubifex worm cultures? Anyone knows where I could get these from?

 

Aqua Empire sell Daphnia and ship.

I’ve recently purchased a culture and had great success.

 

Thanks, will check them out.

Update, ordered the culture, will be sent Monday. Wish me luck.

Wanted to keep fish, ended up keeping their food too!! Will end up with a lab soon!!

 

Bloodworm you must start a culture yourself, there is info on the net. Tubifex are sewer worms usually, not sure where we would get clean cultures here...

 

looking for a video, cant really find anything decent.. have you got a link somewhere? and where do u get live bloodworm?

 

Someone posted a link somewhere, it's fly larvae that you'll often find in stagnant water. If I see the professor again maybe he can bring his live food booklet that I read..
