Does anybody know the best way to make Infusoria? My Neons have spawned for the first time in the 10 gal that I set up for them. I've removed the parents and will hopefully get a hatch sometime tommorrow, who will need feeding. Any ideas?

This is what I did. I took lettuce and some used tank water. Put it in a clear container with a LED and let it set on a window sill in the sun. In about 3 days, you should have green water. Strain it into another container to get rid of the nasty lettuce.

what I did was do exactly what Lucy did biut I also bought some live daphnea from my LFS and put the lot in the same tank as the lettuce and harvested them with a brine shrimp net to feed the fry.

You would be amazed how small the fry are when they start feeding on them.

6 months later I still have the same Daphnea breeeding to feed my tanks

Thanks guys! Great advice as usual. I'd better find some lettuce!

If you don't have any lettuce, PlantedTank.net has a good thread on live foods which says the following:

I've set up a lettuce jar on the windowsill, and the tank has a large clump of Java Moss in it already, thats what most of the eggs are stuck to!
