Sort of fish related I guess. Been thinking about setting up some sort of live food I can harvest all year round to feed my fish, something simple. Just wondering if you guys do it and what do you feed?
I keep <"Grindal worms">, <"Micro-worms">, <"Vinegar Eels">, <"Daphnia">, <"Asellus, Crangonyx pseudogracilis"> and <"Black-worms">. I also "ranch" Blood-worms and Mosquito larvae. I would normally have <"vestigial winged Fruit-flies"> as well, but I don't have a culture at the moment.Just wondering if you guys do it and what do you feed?
I was going to suggest buying a copy of Mike Hellweg's <"Culturing Live Food"> but that doesn't look to be an option, unless you win the lottery. I'm offering a discount on my copy, yours for just £400 (plus p&p) but only for friends.
JC why the heck would somebody write a book about that print it in a vatican bible quality and offer it for such a price? Produced in 2008? In this digital era he could make some real good cash offering it for 50 in a digital version.. He's shooting in his own foot making his product about unavailable to the large public. Not a smart bussinesman..
You mean cartel formation? So the head of the Grindal worm culturing family offered a year salary to the author to give it a absurd price?.I've seen this happen with a few different non-fiction books on amazon, think it's a way for the seller to stop someone buying it.
I don't think the problem lies with the author. I bought my copy (hard-back) in 2008 for about £25.JC why the heck would somebody write a book about that print it in a vatican bible quality and offer it for such a price? Produced in 2008?

Hi all, I don't think the problem lies with the author. I bought my copy (hard-back) in 2008 for about £25.
Edit I just had a look and I paid the sterling equivalent of $35 in May 2009.
I assume it was a limited print run, and it is an in demand book, although I can't see that any-one would actually pay £400 for it.

Grindal worm culture is covered in pages 105 - 108 and the book is 240 pp. long, which works out at ........£6.66! If we assume that £400 is a reasonable price.How much would you sell me the page on Grindal worms for?
That is a good idea, and I have plenty of measuring cylinders available.I have mine in a two litre pop bottle from which I pour a a little bit into one of the larger of these Link: http://amzn.eu/4bdrhGy
I've found the Daphnia cultures are a lot less prone to crashing if they have a pond snail and some dry grass/hay in the culture bucket. I got the idea from <"Caudata.org"> and it definitely helps with boom and bust. I'm not feeding mine at all at the moment and I can still harvest every other day. I haven't restarted any of the buckets for several years...... This could well be nonsense, but makes some sense of my past experience of daphnia cultures failing to thrive when I thought I was doing everything right.
I assume that the smaller frog would have moved around to be 180o from the larger one pretty soon after that. When there were four frogs they were as far a part from one another as they could get.does look like Mr & Mrs Frog have just had a row and aren't speaking!
