    Guppies remind me of eager dogs, "take a mouthful first, THEN ask what it was". Lol. Thanks for the video, im pondering starting another type of food for my CPDs. Did yours eventually come around to them or just never really try?

    How did you start the green water?

    • @LakeMissoulaAquaticsandPlants
      @LakeMissoulaAquaticsandPlants 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The tank was getting overgrown with guppy grass. I ripped handfuls up and it made the water murky. Within a week the water was yellow green. Tank is in a east facing window with a grow light on top. I feed the guppies at least 6 times a day. They produced the nutrition for the greenwater. The 20 gallon does best with 200-400 fish. Ammonia, nitrite and nitrates rarely ever register in water tests as long as it gets enough light to convert the waste to more greenwater.

    To collect the vinegar eels. Use a empty corona bottle. Fill from your main culture to where the neck starts and then stuff couple cotton balls down to where it's touching the vinegar. Then full with clean water . Eels will go though cotton and you can you a pipette to remove them to feed . Really easy. Also you can use sugar instead of apple for food

    Dear Ben: I’ve been culturing vinegar eels, for several years. Last year, during warm weather, I kept my cultures, in my crawlspace, where they expired, due to mold. I had to acquire more vinegar eels, from a friend (to whom I gave vinegar eels). Now that I keep my, vinegar eel cultures, in my, weight room closet, fewer expire, due to mold. I keep my cultures in glass, jelly jars, with coffee filters, held in place, with rubber bands. I believe I’ll try to sort something with lids, like the Mason jar you are using. If I can’t find Mason jars, I may poke holes, in regular lids and use such, to hold coffee filters, in pace. I may also use filter floss, to plug the neck, of a bottle, for a back-up culture. When I feed vinegar eels, to my fry, I use a turkey baster, to suck up the vinegar, and then strain it, through a coffee filter, sitting in a cone. I add some tap water, to rinse most of the vinegar, off the eels. Then I dip the coffee filter, in the aquarium. It might be easier, to use a toothbrush, as you demonstrated. Thank you, for sharing this, informative video. All my best, Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar

      It's great when baby brine shrimp are too big for your fry. They also disperse in a ring around the top of the tank, same place many fry hang out. Also lives for weeks, so they don't dirty the water.

    • @LakeMissoulaAquaticsandPlants
      @LakeMissoulaAquaticsandPlants 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes, originally I reached out to Moonlight Aquatics, took a couple months to hear back, they claim they are the Blueberry subspecies. They have been importing them from Garenelio. I reached out to Garenelio, they claim their snails have been captive bred for about a year and that they haven't experienced any contaminants. They claim the only sustainably caught snails and that any other source that came after them have almost destroyed the natural ecosystem by inialating the wild snails. I asked if I could send them a picture, they declined and asked me to compare what I have to the pictures on their site. He (Kevin) also noted their pictures are taken under multiple light spectrums to show how they look under a variety of lighting conditions. I'll have to keep an eye on them as they grow just to make sure they are not the giant blueberry snails but based on the size of the adults I received they are most likely the standard blueberry's.
