Frank 2 bags of daphnia, one adult albino BN and a starter culture of if you please. Was think about the blue rams but I think the water parameters may be hard for me to maintain. My water is pretty high on PH.

Phill, yes, any of the rams will live and try to spawn at pH from 7.3 to 7.8 but they do not like it. I have had spawns of them at 7.8 but very few fry survive and the adult rams do not seem to live as long at the high pH. Rams are best kept at 7.2 pH and lower. A pH of 6.5 to 7.0 is what I would recommend.

Jose, I added a picture of the black corys to the first post above. Also added a pic of the EB rams.

Frank, I totally bombed at re-starting my microworm cultures. I forgot to put lids on them one night and some sort of fly invaded. May I have one more starter from you? If I fail again, I'll give up and buy a new culture.

Becca,

No problem, I will bring you another microworm starter.

BTW, fish consider the maggots from fruit flies and such to be a delicacy. You can always collect the microworms with a spatula, disperse them in water and run this through a fine net to get maggot free microworms for the fry and feed the maggots to bigger fish.

And if you have a maggot-full culture of microworms and want to get a maggot-free microworm culture, run enough of the culture through a fine net to get enough to start a new culture. You can even just take the surface liquid and run it through the net or dilute the culture with a couple spoonfuls of water if you want, and use the liquid that comes through the net to start the next culture. But this does not always work if the gnats or flies have just laid eggs, since the eggs are also small and could go through the net. You might have to do it a second time if the maggots are back.

Good to know. I had the same flies (not fruit flies, but similar) do in my grindal culture by outcompeting the worms for food. Having a 2nd kid fried my brain. I can't remember to put lids on anything.

Hi Frank,
If you have any left after what looks like a pretty good run on daphnia, we'll take 3 bags.
Thanks.
