Description

$20(auction) + $8(shipping) = $28
You can make payment with Paypal at ryanthehut@gmail.com. Please don't request an invoice unless vital to you. I always ship USPS priority mail. If you pay prior to Monday morning your culture is almost certain to ship that Monday or Tuesday. I offer a no questions asked replacement policy.

The picture are 1 & 2 liter bottles under fluorescent light - my indoor closed-cycle cultures.


AUCTION
These are 1 liter size cultures. You select two 1 liter bottles - please tell me which two in your Paypal payment to avoid delays.

#1) White Worms
#2) Scuds
#3) Daphnia - outdoor
#4) Daphnia - indoor closed-cycle
#5) Moina - outdoor
#6) Moina - indoor closed-cycle
#7) Copepod - indoor closed-cycle
#8) Dero - indoor closed-cycle


#1: WHITE WORMS
This is robust strain that are tolerant of warmer than usual temperatures. My cultures attain 85 degrees in the summer and I harvest year round. It is enough medium for two sandwich sized containers. The medium is taken directly from an established culture. It will contain around 100 worms plus eggs.

I most recommend white worms as a food culture. Why? A gallon of water may contain a hundred daphnia, but a gallon of worm culture will contain thousands of worms. If you have a cool place in your home you can culture this easy worm. The "cool" place in my home is in my garage near the concrete floor.

They are not cultured in sterile conditions and may contain cohabitants common to worm culturing.


#2: SCUDS
You receive 30 - 50 scuds. Cultured in my unheated garage, and in the winter kept at a minimum low of 68 degrees. Tanks are lit with 6,500K fluorescent light. Fed fish food, fruits, vegetables, and crushed snails.

Scuds are my favorite aquatic indoor culture. They are very easy to culture and always reliable. Scuds may appear mysterious but there is nothing about them I find challenging. A duckweed filled aquarium, with a slice of cucumber, makes a productive culture.


#3 & #4: DAPHNIA or #5 & #6: MOINA
OUTDOOR(20 gallon buckets) or INDOOR(closed-cycle)

OUTDOOR
You receive around 50 daphnia, or 100 moina, from my 20 gallon bucket cultures. My daphnia are medium in size. I have kept both strains for years with success.

I feed them aquarium mulm, banana peel, and cucumber.

INDOOR These are 'closed-cycle' cultures, that have been running for several weeks in the bottle, under 6,500K fluorescent light. The reason for obtaining daphnia this way is daphnia are notorious for total collapse when transitioning to different water. With this bottle cultue, you pick out a few daphnia, and place it under light as your backup culture. This gives you time to get 'your' culture up & running. If your primary doesn't take, pick out a few daphnia from this culture, and try again. The daphnia you remove will be replaced within days. FYI: It only takes a few daphnia to quickly start any indoor culture.

This bottle culture will thrive without feeding for over one year. I add organic matter, a piece of banana peel, and place that under fluorescent light for several weeks. The light & organic matter, encourages the growth of algae & bacteria, which supports a small colony of daphnia. This is the same as if you add a few snails & plants in a bottle, and place that under light, it turns into a closed-system snail culture. A 1 liter bottle supports about 10-30 daphnia, or around 20 - 40 moina. That may not sound like many, but is actually enough to start many cultures, as it only takes a couple to start any culture.

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


#7: COPEPOD Freshwater cyclops. These are closed-cycle cultures like the daphnia. Each bottle contains a couple dozen cyclops. Culture like daphnia.

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


#8: DERO These are closed-cycle cultures like the daphnia. Each bottle contains a couple dozed dero. A gallon milk jug filled with aquarium water, with a couple shot glasses of fish tank mulm, makes a basic culture.

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


GUARANTEE I will replace a DOA package at no cost to you. If a package from me shows up dead, simply message me, and I will put another in the mail.

The only time a package is vulnerable is when your mail carrier is bringing it to your home. If the package is left in the elements it's likely to perish. Please have somebody home that is prepared to meet the mail carrier at your mailbox.
