Haha I don't think there is a local aquarist club in Great Falls MT. :P So I'll try the pet shops. Thanks.

Okay thanks, I'll look into getting other food then. I need to get some more BBS too, so I might as well get some other types at the same time. Anyone have any suggestions for where to get microworms, BBS, etc. cheap?

Oh, okay that clears up the question of the moss. :) Are you saying the microworms would be a "larger livefood", and in "larger" do you mean larger than BBS? Just one more question for now.... :D Should I start hatching them on the 18th "Validity date"? Or should I wait longer, their so small...

Hi BigC, Did you read my original post? That explains why I might need Java moss. Will you please read those questions and let me know what you think? I'm not sure if I need Java moss or not, the instructions for hatching these eggs (from eBay), say to put Java or another type of moss in the...

Hmm, that's very interesting! I didn't know they'd keep that long. :P I've stored mine in their bottle inside of my dresser for all these years though, so do you think they'd go bad that way? Thanks for the response.

Hmm, interesting. I might give that a try if the hatchery doesn't work out. Thanks for the pics. :)

Can anyone else answer this question? "Also I don't have any Java moss or any other kind of moss, right now. So do I need to buy some of that for the "raising tray" or can I get some more Peat moss (at Walmart or somewhere cheap) and just raise them in that?" The only Java moss I could find...

Thank you for the replies, Sausagewinkle and Ainsy! I have hatched BBS in a pop bottle like you before, but my problem was straining and rinsing them, before putting them in a freshwater tank. The only methods I've heard of, lose a lot of the BBS. So I was hoping with this setup, all I'd have...

Yes, I'm using salt water, they claim that the salt water is kept separate from the fresh water (in the tank). Somehow I guess the saltwater creates a pocket where it doesn't go past that mark and then from there up is the fresh water.

Hello, I'm having a little trouble with a Tom aquarium "Hatch n' Feeder" (Brine Shrimp Hatchery kit), has anyone used one of these before? First time I set it up in my Betta tank, most of the eggs settled into a curve in the hatchery, and I didn't notice any hatched the next day. I had an air...

Hello All, Today my live plants arrived (I bought them on eBay). I got the following plants... Lilaeopsis novae - zelandiae - 10 stems Isoetes sp. - 10 stems Micranthemum micranthemoides - 5 stems Glossostigma elatinoides - 5 stems Eleocharis acicularis - 5 stems...

Okay, that makes sense. I probably won't do that (at least not this time) since I don't have any microworms. But I'll keep that in mind. :)

Wouldn't adding microworms make the water pretty dirty, and you'd have to do even more water changes instead of only about 20% a day? I've heard you shouldn't feed the fry until they are hatched and their yolk sack is gone...what do you think?

Haha, yikes. I've wondered how people get a siphon going when cleaning a tank with airline tubing. :) Thanks for the tips, I'll have my flashlight ready! I don't have a turkey baster, but I do have a long plastic eyedropper thing, that came with a "Hatch n' Feeder" BBS hatchery kit. :) So I...

Oh okay, so your saying to use the Peat moss in the hatching con. and then spawn mops in the raising con. right? Thanks for the clarification.

Hi MisssMarie, Thanks for the help! I've had plans for what to feed them. I've heard that the fry aren't big enough to eat Live Baby Brine Shrimp (which I'm planning to hatch), so I'm thinking I'll make some "Infusoria" (with a banana peel in a glass jar of aquarium water, set by a window for...

That Goldfish as my pic, is one of the last fish I had in my 50 gallon tank I recently sold.

Hello All, I'm new to this forum (and website), so I hope I'm posting this in the right place, if not hopefully the moderators can easily move it. I purchased 100 Killifish/rachovii eggs from eBay, and received them in the mail a couple days ago. They came in a small container filled with Peat...
