OK--the other thing you can do is take a few from your main culture and put them in a 50 gallon stock tank out in back of your house, as soon as the weather gets above freezing. They really don't mind cold. Outside, there's enough natural algae and bacteria to keep the culture going without your having to add food very often.

When the weather warms up, though, you'll need to take the culture down. Mosquitos will start to lay their eggs in it and this could pose a health hazard. The fish will be glad to get the mosquito larvae too, though. Just be careful not to overfeed or you'll have mosquitos in the house.

Well, it happens to everyone, one time or another. Remember. Green water is best. If not that, a dillute yeast solution.

(Very dilute) solution of sweet potatoes will work--no more than a half teaspoon of baby food sweet potato to a cup of water. Let it sit, so the solids settle out. Just make the tank a little cloudy, so you almost can't see the other side.
