Culturing Infuseria

I have some infuseria tablets, well three of them and I don't know where to get more. I would like to try to grow more with what I have, is that possible? What do these things eat anyways? How would I keep a culture alive? Ive read a little bit about it, but I don't know that much. I need help!!

 

Try this!

 

It's pretty easy. Fill a clean glass jar or clear plastic with tank water. Add some lettuce leaves and set it in the sun.
After a few days the water should turn green.

Here is an old thread of mine on how I did it with some tips from other members.

thanks for the help. Ill definitely do that. Also, I know this is not in the betta breeding forum, but could these be used to feed betta instead of micro worms and vinegar eels or should I also get cultures of those if I am to have a spawn??
Also, could I just buy a 2.5 gallon and do a giant culture? I think that would be cool. Anyways is there any kind of market for this or no? I just like to be helpful to others and if I could sell some cultures that would be cool. I'm not thinking about making money, just helping other fish breeders. I could also see if my LFS would want to sell some live cultures. They sell live brine shrimp so I don't see why not...

 

I would that infusoria can be used to newly hatched betta fry but I have never bred them so.....
You might want to ask in the betta breeding section.

I don't know if there is a market for it.They are microscopic. Imo it would be hard to say how much if any live in an amount of water.
PersonalIy wouldn't buy any. Then again there are a lot of things on the market I would not buy that do well. lol
You could ask the store but basically you'd be selling them green water.

 

Yeah. I could try to sell it to fish breeders??? I wonder if I could dry some of it and create tablets like the ones I found... I don't know how one does that though, and how the infuser doesn't die!!
