It's not exactly confirmed by science but they do seem to thrive with the green water. The beer-bottle cultures are too small for the best results though.
4 years late but youtube gave me this just in time because, while im not raising ostracods, im raising daphnia as a pet type thing, so im getting into the same mess youre in
The green mess you mean? Hey don't sweat it. Green water isn't harmful. I'm not familiar with daphnia but most of our aquatic pets thrive among the green glow
I actually have a colony of ostracods that have been living in a 1 cup jar for over a year now, never had green water and just had some moss that actually died, I didn’t intentionally start the colony and actually I’m still not sure how they’ve survived as it’s remained closed for a year until I tried starting a bigger colony
Sounds like you accidentally made an ecosphere! Green water isn't necessary but it doesn't hurt either. If you try again definitely look for hypnum moss. I've had some luck with it living underwater
Ostocods definitely eat green water they are filter feeders and eat extremely small particulate matter and singel celled algea. If theirs a large population and not enough free nutrients they will make your water so clear with no filter that you'd think you have a whole sump for your aquarium but it's just hundreds of filterfeeders acting as nature's mechanical filter.
This guy violated everything I saw about growing greenwater lol, well done man!
I'm happy I found your channel. I've been keeping ostracods for a little over a year now; never even knew about green water. Had to subscribe :)

I’m doing green water now with yeast and nutrients hope it works out
Hey best of luck! This video is pretty old. Nowadays I can't stop the green water 😅

@@KettmanAquatic❤ 100% agree, the more ostracodas the clearer the water as time pass by😊
What do you do with the ostracods?

Green Hooch?
Don't drink the green potion 😅
If you want detritus worms, just over feed in mixed media substrate. Veggies and protein fish food. They will come.
Hey Sabine, I've made a LOT of progress with the Detritus Worms. Tens of thousands ruclips.net/video/aIyBQ_zDB3M/видео.html
