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)..
