After the holidays I may try to start something, bit busy now. Thanks for the offer though Craig.
Sometimes it takes a few months but ill reply lOl Rotifers are really easy to grow as long as you feed and harvest them every day. I think the biggest reason people crash their cultures is that they get lazy and tired of doing it but even then they can be restarted from just the crud on the bottom of the culture bucket.
Weve never grown phyto just because it would triple the amount of time needed to grow rotifers. We can buy 1L of algae paste that will last many month so IMO its not worth the trouble.
