Hi All,
I think this is the appropiate forum for this question(s). I'm preparing a couple tanks for raising Apistos and I don't think it's too soon to make preparations for live food cultures.
Besides BBS & infusoria, what kinds of live foods (that are good for Apistos) can be cultured at home?
Which ones can starter cultures be found in my own local environment?
I can't remember for certain, but I think I read years ago that white worms can be aquired by burying a piece of potato in the ground for a week or so.
I'm aware of white worms, grindal worms, daphnia. Are there any others that Apistos enjoy?
I want to raise my Apisto's on a variety of foods, both live and dry. In the past I've found they grew faster on variety.
Is there much information about culturing live foods in Dr. Romers new Cichlid Atlas?
Thanks,
Michael
