live food

I recently thought that my betta fish might be a bit bored, so thought I'd get a couple of neocaridina shrimp in the hope he'd enjoy following them round. Big mistake! He immediately went straight to attack mode, luckily they were too big and too fast for him to catch but he was absolutely...

as the title says I have a 2.5-gallon tank. one of those cheap bowfront 2.5 betta tanks, and I was wondering what I can culture because I am hoping to breed angel fish by feeding them live foods.

Hello, I've had some cardboard soaking in a bucket of water for a few weeks because I keep forgetting to tip it out over the compost. I was just about to tip it out when I noticed these red wiggling worms (photo below). Feel like this is a dumb question but are these bloodworms? If so, can they...

Moina breeding is not always successful. I recently found out that light is necessary if you want to breed it well. I use LED light about 16 hour a day.And feed them dry yeast and spirulina mix powder. Is there any tips for moina breeding? I would appreciate it if you would share it here.

Any advice here? Pros and cons? From the bit I have read they seem like a decent live food for small and medium fish. I have a spare 10 gallon tank that I am growing hornwort and algae in, thought about using it for live foods and scuds look like a nice option.

Finally had some mosquito larvae show up to feed my tetras. They went wild over the fresh food.

I'm Mimi. I USED TO kinda view fishies as living decor BUT after a few decades of keeping them, I look at my aquatic babies just the same as my fur babies. ... even right there, behind my Epilepsy Service Dog. I can even pet them, kiss them through the glass and hand feed them. I currently...

Hey! I've been doing a lot of research about different types of fish, tanks, filters, heaters, etc to get my first fish tank (or at least my first tank that I alone own) but struggled to find information on fish nutrition. I'm planning on keeping 2 dwarf gouramis, 2 killifish, 10 neon tetras...

So a few weeks ago I purchased a white worm started culture. Overall they culture has been doing well and generally thriving. However, recently I have been noticing these smaller, dark colored worms that appear to be segmented within the culture. They appear to be completely distinct from the...

I have 3 dwarf puffers and I have never really kept puffers before. I am aware that they eat snails and frozen food rather than pellets and flake food etc. If I don't have many snails in my tank do I need to buy live food/snails for them? Any advice would be useful, Thanks

Can I raise Gammarus or some other live food off the back of a ten gallon in a 3 gallon container? They would be food for Guppies, Least Killifish, and maybe a Betta.

Hey so I am new to this hobby and have a some questions. Let me first explain my set up and situation. I have a 30 gallon tank, a fluval 50 filter, an Eheim Jager heater for a 40 gallon tank, a current LED lightstrip, live plants (sorry dont know the names, 1 rock and sand substrate. I have 5...

Looking for varieties of miniature daphnia - Got some moina macrocopa from BigC a couple years ago but my culture collapsed after a recent move and he no longer seems to be around. Can anyone recommend a source? Cheers.

Hello! As some of you may remember, I have a 240L tank with a 100L sump setup, filled with bio-balls.
