Not me; not consistently, and thats after buying the Plankton culture manual, YouTube, forums et. I saw that Youtube guy who works at the cincinnati zoo, and he was good but I wanted more detail on the pod culturing. Pardon the name, cant find vid.
Here’s where I’m at. Brine Shrimp: nailed, rotifers, easy. Tisbe. easy but what eats these? same for tigger pods. I can sometimes keep the parvocalanus going but whats weird is I can only sustain by co-culturing with BBs. Any of the other pods Live Aquaria sell I’m not able to culture.
Phyto, I have procedural sterility issues and culture crashes with “commercial” pure phyto. I‘ve been using home brewed “tank water” phyto; sometimes light green, sometimes gold <LOL> . No clue on species or nutritional profile. So if you are good at maintaining cultures; tips appreciated. Anyone refrigerate?
Any links, youtube vids, books or whatever to get me smarter appreciated.
