- Sorry to disturb people by asking that question without reading the FAQ. I
- have now read it and have a different question to ask.
-
- Most live food seems fairly easy to culture. What do you people find is the
- best live food, considering fish nutrition, availability, ease in culturing,
- ect...
-
- I ask this question because I used to think brine shrimp was the only thing
- I could grow at home for cheap. After reading the FAQ I noticed something else
- which might actually be better called Daphnia. These organisms seem a bit
- better choice, as they will survive in fresh water, and help clean it. The
- only problem I see is that the water it is suggested you culture these things
- in must stink to all bloody hell!
-
- I must grow these things inside, as I live in quebec canada and right now
- it's a nice 14 degrees below 0(celcius) so any water put outside will freeze,
- and long before that will kill anything in it.
-
- Thank you for your responses.
