Hey everyone! I'm going to start cultivating my own pods and wanted to know where I can get just Oithona Colcarva pods from? Algaebarn sells the other 3 types of pods I'm wanting to cultivate, but I'm properly stumped on where to find these other pods. Also, if things go well with this adventure I'll post up a full on how to with my set up. Knock on wood, haha.

Random side question, are rotifers worth cultivating? I've never personally used them so I don't know their benefits. Could someone link me to an in-depth article on these by chance?

We do not sell them individually and only in our Ecopod jars unfortunately. WE responded to your other post as well :) DM us if you have any other questions!

I wanna re-start this thread. I would also like to know where I can get Oithona Colcarva pods from as a single species. There has to be someone out there that has them??

To my knowledge, the only way for a hobbyist to get a culture of O. colcarva at this point is by buying a blend that contains them, taking a microscope and pipette, and filtering just the O. colcarva out into a container of their own by hand.
