Shrimp Fry and Infusoria

[TheGrandJump]

what are those white things?? the shrimp fry or the infusoria? o.o

@TheGrandJump You wont be able to see the infusoria, since they are just a few cells big. The stuff in there is shredded Lettuce and a few snails (tiny snails).

I'm not sure I'm totally clear...boil what water?  The aquarium water? Boil the lettuce and then put it in the water? What am I boiling?

[oBseSsIoNPC]

@chrisaquarium You boil the water that you want to put over the lettuce in a separate pail, with this method you will cause the infusoria to develop. It will break down the lettuce a lot faster.

hey! the lettuce in the water is actually water conditioner rite? and...how long can the infusoria live in there?

[oBseSsIoNPC]

@iliruzanna94 It depends on the water quality, as long as it does not smell bad, the infusoria is fine. The longest I kept a pail fresh was for 2 weeks.

You will have to make some infus yourself very soon ;)
