Growing my culture in 2019
Jeff Parry best of luck with it! And with your fry! 👍
@@Aquarimax It worked great, loads of infusoria and fry and guppies love it. Thanks so much.
@@Aquarimax I have had a brew made from a red pepper chugging away.....just added some pond water to it to dilute it.
It reeks something awful! Will be interested to see if the infusoria will like it!
Meanwhile I have just made a new batch from lettuce,peas and beans....
Ged Farnan There is a certain odor...but smelly bacteria will likely mean happy Infusoria 😊👍
@@Aquarimax Hey bro, can we do this with potatoes? I have got some Glo Danios.
I dont breed fish now. But I seen this video and who its by. And HAD to make a comment about this person. They are GREAT!! I have talked to him before on youtube and even emails. He helped me out a TON!!! Gave me so much info and tips that helped me out ALOT!! Such a nice person and helpful as all hell. I thank you yet again and to anyone that is thinking about asking him something. ASK!!! You will learn a ton and he will help you out ALOT!! One of the BEST ppl to ask about any stuff about this and other stuff in his videos
Erik Iacopelli Thanks Erik! ☺️
An Infusoria culture is usually ready to harvest within 10-14 days from the time you start it.
You’ve been such a help for me culturing live food in general. I’ve got scuds, daphnia going.
Just what I love to hear!
I'm trying my first infusoria culture! I want an alternative to my vinegar eel cultures
Awesome! Infusoria are definitely less involved to harvest!
Simply Betta funny seeing u on this vid. Trying to culture infusoria for my betta fry. Love ur vids!
Lol...my idol is here🤣
It takes 10-14 days for a culture to mature and be ready to feed to your fry, so make sure to start it BEFORE your fish lay eggs. 👍
Aquarimax thank im going to try it
Is there a way to speed this up? My fish bred the day after I put up the infusion. It has some organisms already. But I need to hasten it. Any ideas?
Richard Harris Podolsky warmer temps can speed it up to some degree, but if you get it too warm it will kill the culture, I would suggest not going over the mid-80s F. If you have a chunk of Java moss handy, or a mature sponge filter, both will tend to have a thriving Infusoria culture on them already, and you can use those immediately.
Can I use other leaves?
@@Aquarimax I'm using Broccoli and cabbage to create one. I started today
Thank you so much for this video!!! I thought you had to buy infusoria culture and I couldn't find it anywhere... I'm so happy OI can create my own culture - thank you
I'm growing it today. Thanks for this beautiful scientific tutorial. You're Awesome. 👌🏼✌🏼👏🏼
Infusoria is great for feeding daphnia and copepods as well. A lot of people who cultivate daphnia in asia will use decomposing vegetables like cabbage or manure to promote infusoria in daphnia cultures as the only food source. The way I've been promoting infusoria in my invertebrate aquarium is taking my plant cuttings and, instead of throwing them away, microwaving them and placing them back into the aquarium.
Sedghammer Good point, and a great way to repurpose plant cuttings! 😊👍
For some reason I have such bad luck trying to culture infusoria, daphne or rotifers. I’ll give this a try now n hope I can get them to live and breed better than I have in the past. Thanks dude, keep up the good work
Philthy Tanks Thank you! I hope they work for you this time! 😊👍
Oh my gosh I had so many culture jars going not knowing why I wasn't seeing more than few small organisms moving around in them. This explains everything, lol.
Phoenix Grimm Glad to help!
Can i use asparagus beans leaf? I have the plant at home and is not treated with chemicals.
fathima beevi I am not familiar with that species, but if it is nontoxic it should work.
OMG! Thank you soooo much for this video! You have the absolute best video on this topic on all of RUclips. I have watched all of them and wasted much time. I found your video and you answered all my questions and you are concise and informative. Thank you !! You got a new subscriber!
Thank you! I am delighted to know that it has helped you out! 😊👍 Thanks for subscribing!
This is a older video, but a always helpful video for anyone who need food for their born swimming Betta Fishes. I never knew or heard this method until I randomly reach up something about Male Bettas only just a bit ago, and this food source came up. I don’t know pet stores like Petmarts, Petco, Petland, and some local city pet stores don’t sell live food for their customers, because that’s what they need most for when they want to breed their fishes. That’s what I hate most about some pet shops. It’s easier to buy it right there than buying online and wait for it to arrive at your door in idk how many days. Also for the most part, when people sell live food, they most likely only sell brine shrimp. Idk why though.
Excellent tutorial. You broke it down so well. Thank you.
Maurice Aquariums You are welcome, and thank you for watching!
Good video but why did you sterilize the vegetables beforehand? I mean, the infusoriae feed on bacteriae, and the added aquarium water is not sterile anyway.
5mnz7fg Great question! The purpose of the boiling water is not to sterilize the vegetables, but to help break down the cell walls of the vegetables, which speeds up the bloom of bacteria, which in turn speeds up the growth of the Infusoria.
THANK YOU SO MUCH; I never knew that it was so easy to grow an infusoria culture! Hopefully I can get this done quick enough to feed..😔 my gourami fry are already two days old and at the moment only eating powdered food
TiGeR _MoTh it takes a while for this to grow. If they are doing well with the powdered food, you might not want to bother with infusoria and just skip to BBS when they are big enough.
Excellent tutorial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark Purpel Thanks for watching! 👍
Thanx for a great video what is the ideal water temperature to propergate infusoria we are going
Into winter, water temperature are around 10 degree c , do I need a heater to propergate infusoria
Home Tab Thanks for watching! For best results within a reasonable time, I would say that room temperatures or a little warmer (somewhere between 21-26 C) works best for Infusoria. You would probably get some species to grow at lower temperatures, but much more slowly.
I tried to make one and the smell is so bad..is it ok?
ken wood the bacteria typically do produce an odor. Once the larger organisms begin to proliferate and the water clears up, it smells a little better,
It was about a week. I got impatient with it and the smell and toss it away..now, can i feed my fry with the jiuce from the yolk of hard boiled egg? Some are now starting to free swim from just clinging to the glass ...tnx gor your reply! :)
ken wood Infusoria is a much safer and healthier food, but if egg yolk is all you have, you can use it, make the particles very fine and feed very sparingly, and then siphon any excess with an airline tube.
How many days does it take to completely form infosoria
Arti Kolambe about 10 days 👍
Could I do the water part backwards?( put tank water first then boiling water)
jay56603 Good question, but unfortunately, that would probably kill most or all of the Infusoria in the tank water.
how about orange isopods?
Thanks for the slow drip tip good idea.
Glad to hear it was useful! 👍
Aquarimax I just started 5 culture how long till i start seeing some infusoria?
+Srib it depends on temperature, food source, and how rich your starter culture was. In general, with a microscope, you should start seeing them within 3-4 days, but they won't be ready to harvest for 1-2 weeks. 10 days is a good general estimate.
Aquarimax Thank you, I live in thailand so I've just left the glass jars outside, I used a filter from my tank and some matured pond water.
+Srib you have a great environment for infusoria then...you should get good yields pretty fast. Be on the lookout for potential fry predators in the pond water such as hydra and dragonfly nymphs. What species of fry are you raising?
Can I mix 1 week old betta fry with 1 month old betta fry? Will they harm each other?
Raihan Chowdhury unfortunately, the larger betta fry are likely to eat and/or outcompete the younger fry.
Ive had mine set up like this for 1 week n half now... So far i dont see anything... What am i doing wrong
Lue Chang what are the temperatures is the area where you are growing the culture?
Can u see it with the naked eye
Not necessarily. Many times you can have a great Infusoria culture and not see anything with the naked eye. It depends on the species you are raising and how good your eyesight is.
Its at around 70° f... But just moved it to the porch area... So around 80
Aquarimax so how do i know if im feeding my fry anything if i cant see it j/w
Can you name any other vegetable that could be used instead.
Dried duckweed works well.
Very informative and easy to understand...thanks for these insights...i love this video.
very clear and simple well explained instructions ! Thank you
You’re very welcome!!
Nice informative video! I subscribed and plan on using the cultures to feed Betta and gourami fry via a slow drip
FunctionBuilt-Aquatics Thank you! Are you going to post the Betta and Gourami fry on your channel?
Yes! I have Betta Hendra fry now that I can drip feed during the day. I'll set up and post a video when the culture is ready. The channel is FunctionBuilt-Aquatics thank you
well done and concise thanks
Thanks for watching!
Usually about 10 days to 2 weeks. 👍
how much weeks It will take for infusoria to form
Theertha S Babu usually between 1.5 and 2 weeks. 👍
can we see it when we have infusoria. i don’t see any thing in my jar water gets smelly and gets clear again but i can’t see anything inside how do i know it’s there
neon without a microscope, it might be difficult,or impossible to see anything, but if it goes through the smelly/clear process you very likely have Infusoria.
Aquarimax Pets thank you i will try feeding them then i always throw after few weeks because i don’t see anything and wasn’t sure what to feed thanks again
Did u have starter for this?
dong Z the aquarium water itself is the starter...no other starter is necessary.
In the absence of a warm window sill can a desk lamp shining on the jar work?
Brian Clarke probably, if the room temps are reasonably warm. 👍,
Aquarimax Thanks!
Brian Clarke 😊👍 You’re welcome!
Thanks You, Video was very helpful & easy to follow.
Beat video I have seen online & gave me lot confidence as it cleared all my doubts.
Keep the good work going...
Great Video. Thumbs up.
Thank you for watching...I always appreciate your comments!
Aquarimax It is a pleasure to watch information being shared with others. Thanks.
Can you make video on DAFNIA
AND FOLLOWING FOOD FOR BETA FRY. AS OER THEIR WEEKLY GROWTH
What a great guide ! Thanks a lot
Ken Lee Glad to hear it is helpful! Thanks for watching!
do i have to close the lid? please response
You should leave the lid open for gas exchange 😀
Can i use tap water? The water is cloudy and has that rotten smell, but when will it have the infusoria?
frank bertis You can use tap water if you boil it first. if the water is cloudy already, it shouldn't be long before the infusoria are ready to harvest. . Once the water starts to clear up, it means the infusoria are rapidly reproducing and eating the bacteria that are causing the cloudiness. Typically, it takes 10-14 days total.
Few day, 1,2,3 days???
krisna budiyanto the entire process, from beginning to first harvest, can take 10-14 days.
@@Aquarimax My first attempt, started February 5, is only now starting to reach the clearing stage (March 20). I was about ready to give up on it.
Jay Miller the cooler temperatures this time of year can definitely slow it down. I a, glad it finally worked for you!
Hey update on my culture and it was a success! Now my question is could i put a blanched veggie on my culture to reproduce again?
Julius Wicked glad to hear it! Adding a blanched veggie can help extend the life of the culture for a while. I would also recommend setting up a fresh culture, and using so,è water from the old culture instead of aquarium water to seed it....that should give it a jumpstart.
is it possible to maintain an infusoria population in 1 jar? if yes, what do you feed it... do u add more blanched vege or aquarium water, and how often?
Low Tech Aquarium It might be possible, if you remove detritus from the bottom and add new vegetables and water every week or so. I would actually recommend keeping two jars running. As one nears the end of production, clean it out and start it over, then seed it with the thriving Infusoria in the other culture. That way, you should nearly always have a producing culture going.
Thanks for this video ! will it work with cabbage leaves ?
Probably will
Fascinating video! I want to offer my adult betta live food. Can an adult betta eat infusoria? He loves to hunt but he needs very little food.
Susan Staples An adult betta would not be interested in Infusoria. I would recommend a small daphnia culture in a jar...it would produce just the right amount for occasional daphnia snacks for your betta. 👍 is have a video on that...just search for daphnia jar aquarimax and it will come up.
Can I use this to feed daphnia? If so, how much do I need to feed them?
Sander Broer daphnia can eat Infusoria, but you’d need to make a lot of it. I recommend using a mix of spirulina powder, rice flour, and garbanzo bean flour for daphnia. It works great for mine. 👍
Aquarimax Pets Thank you!
Lovely information thanks man ,👍
Aaditya Solanki you are welcome!
Right to the point great video
william T Thank you! What are you feeding? 👍
Will be tetra but none just yet keep up the good work
Nice
would there be any problem doing this in a larger container? would a trickle from an air line be needed in a bigger setup or simply make a mess? Also does it smell?
Ill have to use a vented lid with floss in the holes. my partner wont take it well if it smells.
Linden Edwards I have never used a really large container, but I imagine it would work...but I would try a fairly shallow container. Air would be optional. It does have a smell to it, no denying that...
@@Aquarimax right. Thanks for getting back to me.
Larger yes. But not much deeper. Excellent.
can i use cabbage
Ajmalkonnakkad Ajmal I haven’t used it, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
Aquarimax what else veggies will work
How many days worth of food is this for the fry?
DJ Duffly unfortunately it is hard to say...it depends on the number of fry, conditions in the tank, other foods offered, etc.
Will larger bettas enjoy this? I have a young one that obviously doesn’t need such small food but i wonder if hed like it anyway!
Jesse Lox good question! Once bettas have been feeding for several days, they outgrow infusoria and will probably not show any interest. 👍
Aquarimax Pets thank you for replying!!
Jesse Lox you’re welcome! 👍
how many days for the whole process to reach full maturity?
Mark Bajet it depends on temperature and various factors, but usually with 10 days to two weeks. 👍
Will some of the infusoria stay in your tank and breed? Would love some sort of live tiny fish food that can sustain fish if I’m away for a weekend or so
sunnysideup Infusorians tend to exist to some degree in any established aquarium. Live plants, especially mosses and similar plants, tend to harbor a good growth of Infusoria. Many fish will pick at the microorganisms present on the plants. 👍
Very interesting, thanks for another great upload.
You're welcome. It's always great to see your comments!
Hi! Great video u have, that's amazing. Does infusoria is good for labyrinth fish only? can it be used for angelfish or any cichlid?
Kristīne Koršakova Thank you! Infusoria can be used for many fish fry. Most egglayer fry in the hobby can start with Infusoria, although some fry are too small even for that. Most cichlids hatch large enough that they don’t need Infusoria, but you could offer it in the 2-3 after they become free-swimming. newly hatched brine shrimp are a great first food for all but the smallest cichlid fry.
How many days till the infusoria become mature? When can we feed it to the fries ?
amalr babu it usually takes about 10-14 days for the Infusoria culture to mature. You can feed it to the fry as soon as they are swimming freely.
Are you putting salt and vinegar on those fries ?
I am going to try this out and i hope it dosent stink cos my wife will kick me out ... its winter and cold here can i put it in a shed with a lightbulb and what temp thanks .... what else can u make tgats not hittng the pocket and can u make video much appreciated for this
dj Stevie Kidd This does have an unpleasant odor, I am afraid. If you can keep it in the 70s and 80s it will be ok. 👍
@@Aquarimax gd gd i have a sun light i have when i had a bearded dragon so hope that will give the heat plus my shed is insulated gd
Your video is the best!
Laborer in the field Thank you! I am glad it is working for you! 😊👍
what is the tool which you have used to extract the culture from Jar.
Suman Akkisetty I usually use a turkey baster. A pipette of any kind will work.
I'm starting to get a constant flow of eggs from my danios. How long does 1 culture last?
Animal Addiction it depends on various factors, so I suggest getting a rotation going-if you start a culture every week for a month, and restart the oldest culture as it slows down,!you should have plenty.
@@Aquarimax oh OK makes sense.
Does aquarium net works for separating the infusoria from water just like daphnia??
Unfortunately not...they are too small. 👍 A turkey baster works best ime
Yeast is the very easy to culture that without starter, 1 to 2 days infusuria is done
Can I use spinach instead of lettuce?
shreya wagle that should work. Most nontoxic vegetable matter seems to work.
I use banana leave and aquarium and its working....
Can i cover the bottle .. With transparent plastic.. I need reply ty brother😍
If you do so loosely it should be ok. Any kind of tight cover would restrict needed oxygen,
@@Aquarimax how about cloth?
@@aldenpaquera5058 that would be better 👍🏽
Whats the best temperature so infusoria to thrive?
Kadong Estimo I would say high 70s to low 80s F, or even a bit warmer.
the infusoria feed on the lettuce?
Jeffrey Lee Sort of. The bacteria feed on the nutrients from the lettuce, and the infusoria feed on the bacteria.
Thanks i wanted to make one for just seeing microorganisms.
PS: might feed to my Fish
shelly la tortuga Both very good reasons for an Infusoria culture! 👍
Would this work for a brackish tank?
Nice tutorial!
Forest Oasis good question! I have never tried a brackish infusoria culture. You could probably add freshwater infusoria as a good source to a slightly brackish tank.
if i have a uv steriliser in my aquarium, would there still be infusoria present in my aquarium water? please reply
nufail aben great question. Depending on your dwell time and other factors relating to your particular UV sterilizer, it could certainly kill off a lot of the Infusoria in your aquarium. There would likely still be some on the glass, in the substrate, on plants, etc.
@@Aquarimax oh thank you so muchhh. Really appreciate it!
nufail aben You’re welcome! 😊👍
i want to speed it up, happy tank accident, my white skirt tetra spawned and i siphoned all visible eggs i could see and transfer to glass flower vase, after only a day they hatched and i idk what to feed them, they are so tiny, i started culture using squeezed spnge filter water, blanced cabbage and added small amount of yeast, do u think i could get infusoria in 3 days after they consumed their egg sac? thnk you
The squeezed sponge filter should help accelerate the process, it is worth a try. Also, if you can get a bunch of Java moss from an established aquarium, that will be full of infusoria too.
do infusoria "dies" or "expires"?
I think my infusoria is fully matured now and I'm still conditioning my bettas. Will my infusoria still be okay for my future fries?
Joe Diamandis if you have to keep for longer than a week or two, I you can set up new cultures, but instead of adding aquarium water, add some of your mature culture. To you mature culture, add some aquarium water and a little of the same food you used to start the culture. This should help speed up the new cultures and prolong the life of your old culture, and you should have a ready-to-feed culture once your bettas are ready.
@@Aquarimax
Thank you!
Never thought culturing infusoria would be this exciting.
Your video is very informative BTW. Good job! 👍
Joe Diamandis you’re welcome, and thank you for watching! Best of luck with your Infusoria, and especially your betta fry! 😊👍
Hello. I like your video. I try it at my home. But can't say that infosuria are produce or not. Really don't know how infosuria look in jar. Kindly help me.
neelam aslam Glad the video helped! It can be difficult to see infusoria without a microscope, but in you shine a bright light on the water in the culture, and you use a magnifying glass, you may be able to see tiny specks moving in the water...depending on which species you have, and how sharp your vision is. A microscope is best, then you will know for sure.
What are the thinks did you used
Lettuce, peas, green beans
Is it a bad idea if I leave the jar outdoors on my balcony? Temps are 80-90 outdoors with probably 6 hours of direct sunlight. I’ve tried this twice now and it smells after 3-4 days super bad but when I inspect the jar under a microscope I don’t see anything moving indicating there are no infusoria present
That is probably too
Much light/heat.
Why boiling water?
Canimaslan US/Turk it helps break down the cell walls of the plants so that the bacteria can feed on the nutrients inside...then the bacteria serve as a food source for the infusoria. 👍
Aquarimax
That's what I figured!
I boiled and blended some spinach into a soup and then also placed some fresh leaves on top.
It REALLY made the whole process go pretty fast I think...
I'm going to have to test it out to see if it did
(get 4 of the same jars, use different methods in each one)
Canimaslan US/Turk Blending the will definitely make the nutrients accessible to bacteria. I will be interested in hearing how it goes! In some cases, high nutrient levels could cause a crash, but if not, you may have discovered a great way to speed things up!
Thanks Aquarimax Pets for replay
will try infusoria culture.
Also will look for videos on vinegar eels if I find
And try that as well
Just wanted to know after how many week I can feed them with DAFNIA?
Thank in advance
LOG JHON I made an old video on Vinegar Eels, but the information is still good. When you can feed the fry with daphnia depends on the strain of daphnia, age of daphnia, and how fast your fish grows, which can vary a lot, so a time in weeks is difficult to provide, but roughly, after about a month, they should be able to eat smaller daphnia strains.
quick question. I'm getting a crested gecko and was wondering what kind of isopods would be best for my vivarium for the gecko to eat, yet still be effective tank janitors? Any thoughts on what species .
If you want your gecko to be able to eat some of the isopods, yet still get the benefits of tank janitors, you might try powder blues (Porcellionides pruinosus). They are large enough that the gecko would likely see them as food, yet prolific enough that they could withstand some predation. That said, I would recommend culturing them outside the vivarium, so you can add them periodically to the vivarium.
Do I need to keep the container open?
VB 23 yes, or at least use a cover with ventilation for best results. The bacteria the Infusorians feed on, as well as the infusorians themselves, use a fair amount of oxygen.
Do you have to stir the container daily?
VB 23 if a scum forms, I would.
Brother what if one doesn't have Aquarium water
I am purching fishes fir the very first time in 5years
And that too breeding pairs
Which are to be delivered tomorrow
Can i start this today without aquarium water?
You will need a source of microorganisms..?some people add some pesticides-free grass from outside to accomplish that.
hey uh I saw some ppl commenting about worms in thier cultures, i plan do for my fry, i have question can fry eat those worms? are they have parasites? sorry i have bad english
oh and one more question if use big jar how know how much leaves to use?
kkthepony I have never encountered worms in my Infusoria cultures, and as far as I know, the only way to introduce parasites to your fish from an Infusoria culture is to use water from an aquarium containing parasites to start your culture...and even then, it might not happen.
Aquarimax ok thank you! so if i accidentally feed the fry a worm do you think thet will eat it?
If it is appropriately sized, yes. Whether that is a good thing or not depends on the type of worm. I feed my fry microworms with great success.
Aquarimax ok thank you!
Can i use another vege? Like cucumber, cabbage,and a banana leaf maybe?
Proabably!
Can we do same in plastic bottle
ROHAN S The only problem with plastic is that the boiling water might cause it to melt...
is there any way to make green water ? i really need ur help .
Can i use fresh green bean?
Mr I'm Too Good To Call Or Write My Fans Those should work well. 👍
@@Aquarimax great !! Thanks sir😊
I can put in plastic bottles or is it necessary to use glass jar
How long does infusoria culture last before they die
hi how can i keep my infusoria untill next 3 weeks i cultured infusoria last 2 weeks and they already build colony they are so many but im still conditioning my betta to breed this coming next 2 weeks
emzon09 if you set up separate jars as Infusoria cultures and let them sit for just long enough for the water to become cloudy, you can add some Infusoria from your existing culture...decreasing the time needed to make a new culture. That way you can ensure that you will have a producing culture when your fry are ready. 👍
Aquarimax thank you very much for the info
emzon09 you are very welcome, I am happy to help! 😊👍
Does the rotting veggie water spoil or affect my tank water? like clash with my tanks bacteria?
Zachary Damien good question! As long as you avoid adding the decomposing vegetable matter to the aquarium, just add the infusoria-laden water, and you don't overfeed, infusoria shouldn't cause water quality problems.
@@Aquarimax Just to add, if you have briggs aka diffusa snails (mystery snails), not only will they enjoy the rotting plant matter, but they themselves are a source of infusoria.
La Bella Great point! The first time I ever heard about that type of snail was in an old book back in the 80s when I was a kid. They were referred to as ‘infusoria’ and ‘mystery’ snails, for that reason. 😊👍
La Bella why are they called mystery snails??
How many days taken to finish the culture
Fishy Joshua about 10-14 days, usually.

How long DO we have to feed BETA FRY with infusoria .
What are alternative to infusoria for BETA FRY.
CAN RICE FLOUR WORK FOR BETA FRY AS FOOD?
CAN YOU MAKE VIDEO ONDAFNIA
LOG JHON Betta fry can be fed vinegar eels or baby brine shrimp as a first food instead of Infusoria. If you use baby brine shrimp, not all of the fry will,survive, but the strongest will. I would not recommend rice flour, I suspect the nutrient balance would be unsuitable for betta fry. I have made several videos on culturing daphnia, here is one: ruclips.net/video/ca3x8Pmuh74/видео.html
These seem much easier to create than the vinegar eels .. I tried making the vinegar eels without a culture and they are not as easy as it looks.
Tino Miller These are easier in that the organisms can be found just about anywhere. Vinegar eels are extremely easy, but you need some of the worms to begin with. 👍
For how long you give them infusoria?
Riecky Surya It depends on the species...for bettas, maybe 2-3 days, and for white clouds or zebra danios, around 1 week.
thank you for this video :)
Feme Camorahan you are very welcome! 👍
Can you just put everything in a microwave berfore adding the aquarium water?
ok I will
