Re: Live cultures
Robert: will send down TWO bags of daphnia next week, so you have a new
starter culture and a backup culture. Suggest acquiring some water from
the pond out back for daphnia culture. BTW, adding Jungle Labs' Clear
Water product, which contains potassium permanganate, will take the iron
out of solution of your well water, however, I don't recommend treated
well water for daphnia. Rainwater or water from a pond, stream, etc. is
much better. Suggest adding some crushed oyster shell to raise
dissolved calcium levels in the culture water as the daphnia need the
calcium for their shells.
