Re: Rams spawning

Thanks, Helen.

One method I have tried before is to filter out some newly hatched BBS before I leave work in the morning.  I would carry them in a small plastic vial and do a final rinse while I'm at work.  The only real trouble is I would never get up in time to be consistent.  

I catch the 5:53 a.m. train to Chicago every day..  and I'm not a morning person.  So I know there are times (like today) when I'll sleep through the alarm and wake up with just enough time to shower and dress ...  no coffee this morning :-( 

That's why I was thinking of something I can culture at work, like the eels.  Freezing the BBS might be a alternative too.  What about plain refridgeration?  If I harvested some BBS the night before and put them in the fridge to slow down their metabulism, would they still be viable say 10-12 hours later?

Freezing might help
