Hi all
I've been gazing at my infusoria culture with a microscope and saw a great many marvelous little things.
I have what looks like Coleps and Urotricha floating about as well as something that may or may not be Paramecium caudatum. I saw at least one water bear and something that may or may not be this: http://www.fishwild.vt.edu/aquaculture_center/images/rotifer.jpg given that it looks very much like Urotrichia to my untrained eye.
I seem to have mix of Protists and Rotifers... from reading about I know some are too spiny for fry will others are just right. Are these fine for fish feeding? I'm going to feed them to Aphyobranchius fry (about the size of Glossolepis fry if not smaller). I know they eat Vorticella and I'm hoping the J.moss will have some on it. They also seem to eat small nematodes.
Any advice?
