Description

Paramecium 8 oz- Ready to Feed for Small Fry

� This is an 8 oz�Culture- Ready to Feed for Newly Hatched Fry. Shipping Info: Shipping� is $5.75 by US Priority Mail. �If shipping is more, I will absorb the cost. I can combine shipping. I will send an invoice at the end of the auction. Please update your mailing address if needed or incluse special instructions for shipping. � Method of Payment: � I accept paypal.� My paypal address is dlffshop@aol.com Please check out my other auctions. Also, please visit my website at Deb's Live Fish Food Shop www.debslivefishfoodshop.com Culturing Instructions: � � � � Paramecium are very itty bitty oval shaped and flat unicellular microorganisms belonging to the phylum Ciliophora�they are very�easy to culture and keep.�When their water conditions are right they can multiply very quickly and divide themselves in half and making smaller versions of themselves. �Paramecium�will eat bacteria that normally grow in aquarium water but it's best to grow�them in a separate container and use smaller containers opposed to larger vessels.� It takes a relatively short time to�turn a starter culture into a full working culture. You should always keep a� few extra containers on hand just in case one goes bad. � � Which Fish Will Eat Them :��Newly born�Fry like bettas, Killifish, Gouramis and other small fry that come from fish that lay eggs. � Environment:� You can keep�your culture�on a shelf with the rest of your cultures. You'll need a space that doesn't get too much light in order to prevent algae overgrowth. � Temperature: Room temperature is fine. � Size:� Micro. You'll need a magnifying glass and hold your culture up to a light in order to see them moving around. You'll need to look for shimmering movement.�They're very tiny and very difficult to see but fry can very easily see them. � Food:� There are�many things that you can feed them because Paramecium feed on�bacteria from decaying organic matter�but�I like to feed mine fish food flakes, but you can also add 1-2 dog food pellets to a newly started culture. I would avoid adding dog food pellets to an already established culture. � Container: Choose�a 8 oz bottle, 16 oz bottle or�container� Medium:� I like to use bottled Spring Water, but you can collect rain water or aquarium water too. � Harvesting: Use a� a small dropper to collect what you will feed to your fry. Only collect paramecium that is in clear water, not cloudy water. If the water is cloudy, wait a few days for it to clear up before using. � � Sub-Culturing: You'll need to sub-culture in about�a�week.�Take 1/4 of you culture and add to your new culture. It's best not to use it all at once just in case the culture crash and you need to start over again.�
