"Infusoria"- the "throwback" food?

"Infusoria."

Remember that word? It's one of those aquarium world catch-alls; a sort of "hangover", if you will, from a gentler, kinder era in aquaristics. A time when under gravel filters, freeze-dried foods, and airmail of tropical fishes from Florida to you were considered state-of-the-art, cutting edge things. (click to read more)

I remember culturing "infusoria" in my bedroom window as a kid: a jar with some decomposing lettuce :)

Used an eye-dropper to feed baby bettas.

I mainly use Golden Pearls these days...

The smell of infusoria / rotting lettuce, I fear, was barely noticeable over the general pungency of my pre-teen male bedroom (and dozens of betta jars, 3 fish tanks and, for a bit, hamster).. :rolleyes:
