1 month with daily shaking in the fridge. Culture tends to grow old after 2-3 weeks if you keep it in the light+air configuration. This is the one thing I forgot to talk about in the video lol
@@AvatarAquatics So if I buy live phytoplankton, will it keep long enough to raise baby amanos? Or should I start a culture? Thank you for everything you've put out here for the community!
Thank you so much for these recent videos! There's so little info on breeding and culturing amano shrimp and their food and your outlines have been incredibly helpful! I'm definitely going to give this a try!
Thanks for all this info. When mixing your own saltwater, I didn't had much luck, culture die or go yellow after a week. Did some research on this and found that magnesium sulfate is to blame. Added 3g on a litre mix , work very well. Thanks again for all your hard work.
Did you mention at some point that the plankton Tetraselmis Sueccica does not need aeration to keep if floating? It would make sense since they are said to be motile. Although my 1st test growing them without aeration failed as they all settled to the bottom in 24h. I thought to confirm this before trying again and with more light. Are they capable to survive, float and grow without the movement of water ? If so, how? :) My test was done in front of a window and got morning sunlight.
Thanks for the vid, very useful, please can you tell me if the Phytoplankton from Seachem is a good choice for Amano baby shrimp they are one day old, I can't find the one you suggest...☹️
