Description

The total cost of this auction is $12(culture) + $7(shipping) = $19. My paypal account is ryanthehut@gmail.com

I list several food culture versions, including white worms, moina, daphnia pulex, microfex, gammarus, and springtails. I have decades of experience culturing live fish foods, and the two every serious aquarist should keep are daphnia pulex and white worms. I have found these two to be the easiest, and offer the largest & most reliable yields. You can view my culturing video on my Facebook page: White Worm Man: https://www.facebook.com/White-Worm-Man-158732174581574/



AUCTION:
Small USPS box with bag(s) of daphnia pulex. It is filled with as many that will ship safely. It only takes a dozen to start all but the largest of cultures - so anything in the hundreds will serve your purposes well.

I will replace a DOA box one time if somebody is home to meet the mailman. If DOA take a photo and email it to me. Keep in mind when packaged the daphnia are alive & well. If it arrives with a portion killed or DOA, that is something caused during shipping and beyond my control. Just let me know and I will send you more - we are friends.


What is the difference between pulex and magna? They are similar in how they are cultured, with the only real difference being size. Pulex will feed fish up to the size of angelfish, and magna all but the largest of fish. I most recommend pulex - by a lot. Pulex are less prone to crashing and live in much higher densities. Magna cultured outdoors in large containers are fine, but if you intend on culturing indoors at any point, pulex are far superior. If pulex don't feed some of your fish considering co-culturing scuds with them.

Culturing Daphnia

If you are new to daphnia you should create your primary culture, but also create several smaller cultures as backups. I recommend creating several one gallon milk jug cultures. Fill each with different water, and place at various locations around your home. If your primary culture fails you will have one of the milk jugs to reseed your primary culture.

Basic Steps:
1) Fill the culture tank with the water from a healthy fish tank. That water shouldn't have had medication in a very long time, and hasn't had a water change in several weeks. Avoid salty water.
2) Siphon the bottom of a healthy fish tank, and collect enough mulm to lightly cover the culture tank bottom. This adds the initial organic matter to the culture.
3) Add a bunch of snails. Pond, ramshorn, and corkscrew snails work well. Microfex(dero) worms and scuds are commonly cocultured with daphnia, and can act as sole cleanup crew.
4) Add live plants.
5) Add natural gravel. Not the fake stuff from the pet store that is sold as natural, but real rock gravel.
6) Add an airstone with a faint stream of bubbles.
7) If indoors add a strong florescent light for at least 18 hours. If outdoors place in a bright location.
8) Keep between 60 to 75 degrees.
