I ordered the small fish package from www.livefoodcultures.com back a few weeks ago, and as of tonight, my cultures are finaly starting to mature. My angelfish have taken nicely to the wingless fruit flies, and the other fish that appears to realy like them are them are black neon tetras. It kind of surprised me how quick they went after fruit flies. I have heard most apisto's don't like to surface feed, so I have white worms, and grindal worms for them. My grindal worm culture has realy tanken off, and I hope to start feeding those this weekend. My white worm cuture does not appear to be doing as well. I have been keeping them in the 'frig in my fish room, and they don't appear to be mulitplying as fast as my grindals. I have the frig set on its highest setting, but I am still wondering if they are getting too cold. My room temp is normally around 75 to 80, so it would be too warm to leave them out. I can't wait to get my cacatuoides and the rotpuncts next week! I am finaly starting to feel like I am ready for them. --C.
