wellcultured Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hello, I have not had a tank up and running for over 10 years. The hoby has really changed(for the better) and the high tech equiptment I spent a fortune on is now outdated. I have a 125gallon planted tank with 6dario dario, 3albino bristlenose, 34cardinals, 6marble hatchets, 24cherry shrimp, 3reticulated hillstream loaches, countless rams horn snails and 3 assasin snails, mistakenly(and soon to be gone)15glowlight tetras. I plan to add a breeding group of pygmy sun fish(gilberti) and some tiger or zebra ottocats aswell as some pygmy corys. I noticed there are members who order fish via aquabids....this interests me as lfs don't always have specific fish I want to add(zebra ottocats). Also because my dario dario will only eat live, (not even frozen bloodworms) I have been culturing microworms. They are too messy though so I'm triing daphnia(pulex) and vinegar eels. I haven't met anyone in Calgary who cultures live foods yet but I've seen cultures available online and have considered purchasing to see how difficult it is to buy and atain fish from aquabids. Anybody interested in the 15 glowlight tetras i have had in my tank for 2months, they are healthy and flawlessly colored i'll sell them for $2.50(half what i paid $4.99).

nanmer Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Many people, on this site, culture live food. I feed quite a bit of live food. I feed my dario grindal worms, they are larger and fill them up. They are easy to culture with a bit of soil and bread. I plan on starting a red worm culture for my larger fish. It is kind of fun feeding live foods, the fish go crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cgy_Betta_Guy Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Welcome to the forum. As mentioned there are quite a few people on here that culture live foods. I used to have micro worms and vinegar eels but ended up neglecting them and lost both. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
