[GSAS-Member] live food cultures

["Betty Goetz" <haika@drizzle.com>]

Since Susan W.'s peacock gudgeons spawned within days of receipt and I
'might' actually have both sexes of Dario dario sometime in the
foreseeable future, I'm stocking up on the live foods that work well for
me (anything not squirmy wormy and white). I've got the following on
order:

Ceriodaphnia dubia
Daphnia pulex
Moina sp. (Daphnia)
Daphnia magna ephippium (cysts)
Fresh Water mixed copepods

I've used these guys several times in the past and have been very happy
with them:

Susan brought me some microworms that I may grit my teeth and work with
but I won't enjoy it. I'll try to keep these copepods/daphnia pure so I
can share once I get sufficient volumes. That means finding MORE of those
little baby brine shimp nets which has been a problem for me. I just have
ONE! I like having the smaller food critters around cuz most of my fish
are on the small side.....most can't handle something like a full-sized
mosquito larvae or bloodworms.

These guys also have FW rotifers but I never know if I've got anything
growing in those cultures so I passed this time round.
