General

I am wanting to start an infusoria culture for my amano shrimp larvae grow-out tank. These freshwater shrimp need to be raised in brackish to full marine water. I already have tetraselmis phytoplankton but want to experiment with feeding them marine infusoria. Problem is, I don't have a marine tank.

I could use a donation of a small amount of marine tank water or marine filter squeezings to get things started. I can meet a few minutes before the Apr 12 mega-auction.

Also, will dried out sand from the beach contain the critters in some kind of cyst form? Will "live mud" do the trick?

Hi all, just wanted to say the meet and greet went well at Odyssey Aquatics.

Met some great people and had some good conversations on reefing, learned some more about exotic freshwater fish, and how different people take care of their tanks are home. The passion was evident and I couldn't have had a better day conversing, and learning more about my hobby. Special thanks to Stewart Pence for helping out and just being a good human.

Thanks to those that stopped by and I hope to meet more in the community in March!

Jonathan here! Just wanted to let everyone know there will be a small meet and greet at Odyssey Aquatics in Roswell for anyone who wants to stop by. Those who enjoy the hobby, corals, saltwater and freshwater fish and want to stop by and say hi, please do! Between 10 AM and 3 PM Saturday February 21st at 997 Mansell Rd. Ste B. Swap hobbyists techniques. Talk about what you use for filters, pumps, lights, what fish or coral you raise, etc.

The small store is still undergoing a build out, but I wanted to meet the locals and introduce myself. Family oriented, fish and coral oriented, and fun! Hope to some of you there!
