> Daphnia does seem to be one of the best live foods. It can be enhanced by what
it eats. I feed mine a mix of peas, beets, paprika and a human vitamin tablet
for seniors. I blend it in a Vitamix to get the right size particles. Household
blender tend to wear out every couple months when used to produce this food. The
daphnia food also works great to moisten microworm cultures. The worms turn a
yellow color but lose it if they are floating in the fry tank uneaten. Microwoms
have an advantage for fry like corydoras that tend to stay near the bottom.
Rotifers are truly better than brine for fry with very small mouths, and for
others too! The marine rotifers stay alive long enough in fresh water to be
eaten. One key to mass production of rotifers is the sessile generation of the
Cassiopia jelly.They eat every rotifer so they are great to keep the green water
cultures pure.

Hi All,
I would like to know what "Casiopia Jelly " is and what is referred to as the four bucked system of raising mosquito larva?
Sincerely,
