Item Description
This listing is for one (1) 4oz Scientific-Grade Infusoria Blend, cultured from the original 2024 Gilled Gems line — the same line used in your fry-support systems, green-water tanks, and microfauna propagation projects. This blend contains a high-density, laboratory-purified ecosystem of:
• Ciliates
• Rotifers
• Microflagellates
• Beneficial bacteria
All maintained under controlled scientific conditions for purity, stability, and predictable regrowth. This is not hobby-grade infusoria — this is scientific-grade, meaning:
• Higher microfauna density
• More stable reproduction cycles
• Cleaner starter media
• Faster expansion when scaled to larger volumes
Perfect for platy fry, nano fish, shrimp juveniles, and delicate micro-feeders requiring microscopic live food.
Laboratory-Purified: This Infusoria Blend is refined under controlled conditions to maintain a clean, stable, high-density microfauna ecosystem free of unwanted hitchhikers. The culture is isolated, stabilized, and maintained as a true-strain lineage, ensuring predictable regrowth, consistent density, and scientific-grade purity. This is not hobby-grade infusoria — this is scientific-grade, meaning:
• Predictable reproduction cycles
• Controlled media and stable density
• No hydra, planaria, copepods, or random pond organisms
• True-strain continuity from the 2024 line
• Rapid expansion when scaled to larger volumes

Infusoria is a stable, resilient microfauna culture that does not experience traditional DOA issues like live fish. Because of this, Gilled Gems does not offer DOA replacement or refunds for Infusoria cultures.
When Replacement Is Eligible
Replacement is only offered if the culture arrives:
