Re: NFC: Novumbra hubbsi
Suggest contacting one of the many vendors that sell live food cultures.
They advertise in the classified ad section of most of the aquarium
magazines. One of the firms that has a wide selection of cultures is
LFS Cultures (http://www.lfscultures.com/). Suggested organisms that
are easy to culture include fruit flies, daphnia magna (heat resistant,
unlike Daphnia pulex), grindal worms, etc.
If you would like live food but don't want to maintain cultures, Konrad
Schmidt has glassworms available. Glassworms are clear midge larvae
found under the ice - fish love them. Bloodworms are also midge larvae
and fish eat them with gusto, whether live or frozen. Konrad can be
contacted by email: flier at uswest_net
