Got the itch again!

[black_knight]

I knew it was you before I saw who started the thread lol.

I'm an addict what can I say.

[mistahoo]

Yea... I lucked out on the guy I bought eggs from. He actually pulled through! I got the list he sent me of all the eggs he has if you want it. PM me your email and I can forward the pdf

These are super tiny guys about less than an inch. They are non-anuals, but live in water less than 3-4 inches deep in the wild. They need cold water to breed (mid 60's). I'm a little hesitant, but if I find some, I'll give it a try. Unfortunatly, most of the people who have these are in Eastern Europe. It's a good way to gamble with your money.

Those killifish look great! Are they annuals as well?

[black_knight]

I've restarted my culture. It'll be a few days until they're thriving, but whenever you're ready, let me know! Any specific killies you're gonna start with?

Thanks.
I may do a clown killie tank with a fluval spec II or III.
I'm thinking of a diapteron tank, but like your black pearl killies not easy to get in US.
My first project is a a fluval spec V, I bought today. I'm thinking of a planted pygmy sunfish tank on my night stand. Gonna fill it up tomorrow and start cycling.

Thanks I may take you up on that. I've gotta get everything set up. It was a short break from fish but a needed one.

Exactly what it's name is. A worm that's micro sized. Lol

I believe it is a nematode. They are very easy to culture and make great food for small fish.

Both are correct. They are definitely easy to culture and great food for fish ranging from 1/16"-3" and possibly bigger fish if they can see the worms? I would go with another food choice if you're trying to feed anything larger than 3". Microworms are especially good for fish that accept only live foods as the microworms live for quite a while in a tank and are constantly moving. I've read online that they last about 6 hours in the water, but given the right parameters, they will last at least 1-2 days (at least when I fed them they lasted that long).

Doesn't take much but a tupperware container, some instapotatoes, and some yeast. By the time you got your setup ready and fish, you'd have a massive culture to feed them with! Just hit me up when you want some. I'm about to expand my culture soon.

[black_knight]

If you want, I can split off some of my microworm culture to get you in the door.
