What is the highest temperature that infusoria will live at?

[Finatic005]

Hello Fishlore,

I recently (yesterday) started an infusoria culture, and I left it on the window today. I measured the temperature and it was at 91F. This isn’t too alarming except for the fact that at this time it was sundown. So I predict the temp could’ve been as high as 100F today inside of that jar. Did any infusoria survive this or should I add some more tank water? Like I said, I started it yesterday so all I have right now is a cloudy jar. I haven’t seen any infusoria in there yet

I hope I don’t just confuse the situation?
It’s true that infusoria is a name for many different creatures yes?
If green water can also be called infusoria then you have no problem. Whatever green water is it works as a fry food 100% . I have raised fry for weeks in a tank full of only a this mix of these many different bugs with adding food. The fry grow.
In the Australian summer my waste water tanks at the back doorstep get hotter than that.

Hmm. Infusoria is a group of microscopic crustaceans and green water is a type of infusoria I believe. But I am wondering mainly if copepods survive or some of the larger crustaceans in the group of infusoria

There are tiny “ bugs” swimming around that you can see with your eyes . And more that you almost need a magnifying glass. They must all be infusorca ? Even the ones that hop around on or at the surface of the water.

I was curious so i did some research. Ideal temp is mid to upper 70's but temp can go as high as 105*.

Oh, thanks! I looked for a bit but ran out of time...

Infusoria is all of those "bugs". I don't even know about ones that hop on the water, but maybe so.
