AUCTION
You select two cultures. The photo shows bottles with only water for reference. Please tell me in your Paypal payment note which two you want by using the below numbers.

#1) White Worms
#2) Scuds
#3) Daphnia Magna - Closed-cycle mini-culture kept under fluorescent light.
#4) Daphnia Magna - Direct from my outdoor cultures.
#5) Moina - Closed-cycle mini-culture kept under fluorescent light.
#6) Moina - Direct from my outdoor cultures.
#7) Copepod(cyclops) - Closed-cycle mini-culture kept under fluorescent light.


WHITE WORMS
Enough medium for two sandwich sized containers. The medium is taken directly from an established culture. It will contain around 100 worms plus eggs.


SCUDS
The only time I heat the culture is during the winter at minimum low of 68 degrees. They are cultured under fluorescent light, and fed fish food, fruits, vegetables, and crushed snails. You receive 40 to 50 scuds.


MOINA OR MAGNA
I have two versions: directly from outdoor culture, or an indoor closed cycle culture that has been running under fluorescent light for several weeks - a mini culture.

Outdoor:
If selecting daphnia from my outdoor culture its dipped directly from the culture. It isn't cycled and you will want to transfer most of the daphnia to your new culture. It will contain around 100 daphnia.

Indoor:
These are 'cycled' closed-cycle cultures that have been running for several weeks in the bottle. It will thrive without feeding for over one year as it's a closed system - as long as you give it light. I add the right organic matter, add a piece of banana peel, and place that under fluorescent light. The light and organic matter encourages the growth of algae and bacteria that supports a small colony of daphnia. A bottle supports about two dozen daphnia and around 50 moina.

The purpose of receiving your daphnia this way is it gives you more time to establish a new culture - a time when daphnia are most vulnerable to crashing. If your primary cuture crashes pick out a few daphnia from the bottle and try again. FYI: It only takes a couple daphnia to quickly start any indoor culture. This is the same as if you place snails in a lit container with organic matter - it turns into a permenant snail colony.

These are free of other organisms. The daphnia were isolated and the culture started with sterile ingredients. Just place this under a light and you will have a source of daphnia for months.


COPEPOD
Freshwater cyclops. These are closed cycle cultures like daphnia. Each bottle contains a couple dozen cyclops. This strain is easy to coculture with daphnia.

The culture will be free of other organisms. The cyclops were isolated and the culture started with sterile ingredients.



GUARANTEE
I will replace a DOA package at no cost to you.
