RE: WANTED: Live Food Starter Cultures

["Mark Pearlscott" <mark@pearlscott.com>]

For some reason, I always killed them (i.e. the grindle culture would be
unproductive).  I don't know what I did wrong.  I had the same problem
with the white worms.  I just decided that they weren't my cup of tea at
that point.  If you have the inkling to teach me how to keep them... I
am your willing student.

Daphnia are great, but I too have to find the best way to keep them
indoors.  The problem is that I don't like to keep more than one tank of
them.  Three seems to be the key to keeping a long indoor culture going.

Fruit flies seem like trouble.  I am also not sure that my wife would go
for it... since all the other critters are reasonably contained.

Mark, I'd be glad to help you  with grindle worms. They have been the
easiest and most productive of the live foods I maintain. I have daphnia
outside but with the cold snap predicted they probably will go dormant.
I've
not had great success at indoor culture. I'll try again with them.
Fruit
flies are easy and great for any surface feeding fish.
I keep 3-4 bottles going.
