This auction includes a large one ounce plus starter culture of nematode worms widely cultured and used as a first food for fry too small to accept baby or decapped brine shrimp and as a supplement to baby or decapped brine shrimp.
The micro worm Panagrellus redivivus, is the oldest and the largest of the three nematodes commonly cultured for use as a first food for the fry of many freshwater aquarium fish.
Pictured below are female and male P. redivivus, respectively.
The micro worm cultures offered here are an extremely prolific and fast growing strain. They also are very simply cultured with oatmeal and a pinch of yeast. The photos below were taken quite awhile back on the 15th of July of cultures that were started on the 7th from only a teaspoon of starter. The lid of the culture container literally has thick strands of micro worms woven on its underside! This is one incredibly prolific and fast strain that I have kept hardy by outcrossing with unrelated strains on a regular basis.
These nematode worms thrive in a simple culture medium of oatmeal enriched with a small sprinkle of active baker's yeast - supplied with your starter.
Room temperature up to about 85o F is acceptable, and the worms throw 60 or so young from the their 4th day on. There will ALWAYS be enough worms on hand for all the fry you can produce. Within literally days of starting your cultures with our large starter portion you will see the surface of your cultures shimmering with millions of worms.
AND............We're not done yet!
You receive 30 grams (one ounce plus) of USA Great Salt Lake decapsulated brine shrimp eggs.
These eggs are non-hatching, eliminating the need for messy and uncertain hatcheries, and are fed directly from the bag. A great many professional breeders and hobbyists have switched to these eggs as 100% are used, and they are actually more nutritious than baby brine shrimp because the entire yolk sac and embryo are intact and not consumed by the hatching process. They are also completely sterile due to the decap process that removes the outer shell, and will eliminate fry losses due to intestinal blockage caused by ingesting egg shells.
AND Finally.....
You also receive (3) of our best selling 7ml pipettes.
These heavy duty - and most importantly wide barreled - six inch long pipettes are graduated in 1/2 ml increments up the 3ml stem and hold a total of 7ml. They have multiple uses in any fish room or breeding setup. They will come in handy for dispensing medications, transferring fry and eggs (just snip the tip wider with a pair of scissors), delivering small foods right to the fry that need them without spreading them all over the tank, and a whole host of other applications.
You will also get complete and very detailed culturing instructions and my own guidelines for fry rearing and feeding, sent in an email at the time of your auction win/purchase so you'll have adequate time to prepare for the arrival of your culture.
Your purchase price includes free First Class Mail shipping anywhere in the 50 United States and Puerto Rico. Auction winners will get the PayPal and snail mail payment addresses on the close of the auction.
We prefer PayPal for payment, but personal checks and US postal money orders are OK as well.
Unfortunately we no longer ship this item outside the US and Puerto Rico.
Thanks For Looking And Take Care!
