[Killietalk] Chloramine and cyclops

["wm crash" <wm_crash at hotmail_com>]

Results of my tests with cyclops and chloramine about one week into it:

- control: cup of stock water with cyclops
- very aged tap water
- 5 cups with various water treatments (Aquasafe, Topfin, Dechlor, Prime, 
etc) treated at twice the recommended amount

Outcome:

Cyclops are still alive and well in the control cup, as well as the treated 
cups. There are no difference between the various water treatments. 
Untreated water kills cyclops within 3-4 days.

Notable is the fact that at the end of the week, none of the cups contained 
egg-carrying females (I had started with 6 to 10 egg-carrying females in 
each cup). During the same time, in my large cyclop container (with oak 
leaves, java moss, and driftwood), there has been a reduction in the egg 
carrying females. There are still many of them, but not as many as when they 
were collected (cyclops concentration measured by my calibrated eyeball).

take care,
