RainFern's List of Cultures August 2014

Currently, I am culturing the following livefoods :

* Mealworms
* Crickets
* Confused Flour Beetles

Aquatic Livefood :

* Daphnia Magna
* Aquatic Snails (Freshwater Puffers eat these.)
* Aquatic Scuds (Gammarus)
* Brine Shrimp
* Blackworms

___ I'm also helping-out a mouse-feeder-breeder and a tilapia farmer, at this time. ___

I plan to add more livefoods to my fishes diets, as soon as possible. 
These will include :

* Ghost Shrimp (Aquatic)
* Red Worms
* Vinegar Eels
* Microworms
* Banana Worms
* Walter Worms
* Superworms
* Waxworms
* Flightless Fruitflies
* Fairy Shrimp (Aquatic)
* Microfex Worms (Dero Worms) (Aquatic)
* Tubifex Worms (Aquatic)

Also, I plan to get some live aquatic plants. Some animals eat aquatic plants, for example, goldfish might eat duckweed plants.

Whew, and I think that about covers it!

I Love Live FishFood

Daphnia Magna Sp.


Live Fishfood is a big part of my life. I raise a lot of fish, hundreds of fish in fact. So I have an unusually large amount of hungry fish mouths to feed. I wouldn't have it any other way! I love my fish like some people love their dogs. (FYI : I love my dogs like most people love other humans.)

What can I say? "I LOVE ANIMALS!, As you get to know me better, the last few statements that I have just made will make more sense to you and I will sound more sane." (I Hope)

=)

Long story short and back to the point of this story :

I've been culturing some species of live fishfood for years. I have had one of my cultures of Daphnia going for over 5 years. I figured that it was time for me to show and tell my fellow aquariasts about my experiences. Through videos, information and pictures I will share with you the many stories, problems, techniques and maybe even a scientific breakthrough or two, as well as anything and everything that I encounter with my Live fishfood farm.

Stay Tuned! & Thanks for stopping by!
