I culture them in gallon jars, with 50% cider vinegar and a couple of
slices of apples. The cultures will last forever. When I had to move from
NY to OR and was not actively keeping fish for almost 2 years I just
brought the two jars, with vinegar, with me in the U-Haul. I had them lying
around in the garage until my fishroom was built, then lying around in the
fishroom until I started hatching some fry. They were still viable and had
harvestable eels in them. As a matter of principle I just set up two new
cultures.
They are the easiest small food to culture, but more difficult than some to
harvest, but you've heard some good ideas here recently. On-topic
discussion on killietalk at it's best!
