It will be ideal if u live in the western suburbs. <br> <br> Mudtea <br> Parramatta <br> mudtea@hotmail.com </DIV><DIV id=Atextbox><P><STRONG>Author: thekrib</STRONG><BR><BR>to keep my 2 cultures going (i dont have any fry to feed them to at the moment) i have been putting more than just a slice of apple, and i think i used too much, the bottles have a whole bunch of junk in the bottom, how do i clean them without whiping out the culture? <br> <br> also, what is the best way to harvest them in small quantities? <br> by small i mean enough to feed about 30 fry? <br> <br> could i just harvest a whole bunch and put them in sense they live for a week in FW? <br> <br> thanks in advance <br> <br> -phil </DIV><DIV id=Atextbox><P><STRONG>Author: 00Phanny00</STRONG><BR><BR>Hey Krib, <br> <br> The gunk at the bottom i dont think you need to worry much about because it doesnt really effect them. <br> When i harvest for my fry in small amounts i use those 5ML syringes and such them out, works great! <br> <br> hth <br> cheers <br> <br> Richard </DIV> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
