DONT TRUST LOCAL FISH STORE

[FlameangelLover]

I bought some live phytoplankton from my local fish store and got home and it smelled BAD. Like eggs sitting in the hot sun. I asked the lady if I can return it and she said “they all smell like that just put it in your tank you’ll be fine” I’m no marine biologist but it’s not supposed to smell like this!

For comparison I’ve been buying algae barn phytoplankton for months and it never smells bad but this phytoplankton almost made me throw up. She was willing to ruin my tank over 11$ !!!

Do your research and worse comes to worse don’t test it

Probably not the lfs fault it was probably shipped in high heat and died. Dead phyto is still good food for filter feeders, just loses some nutritional value. It will also not reduce nitrate and phosphate when dead (what a suprise). That's all assuming that this was bottled phyto like phytofeast and not cultured by the lfs. If I owned the store I would have refunded you.
