What Is Infusoria?
At one time, infusoria referred to just about any microscopic, or nearly microscopic, organism that lived in freshwater. That meaning is arcane in the scientific community, but the term infusoria is still used by many within the aquarium community, even by younger fish enthusiasts.
To aquarium enthusiasts, infusoria refers to many small organisms in the water that tiny fry can feed up upon. There's a large number of organisms that could be in an infusoria culture
Home culturing of infusoria is relatively easy and inexpensive. A multitude of methods exist, but the basics are all the same. Take water with organisms in it, such as your aquarium water. Add some nutrients such as blanched lettuce, to promote the growth of the infusoria. Wait for the infusoria to grow, then feed to the fry. The nutrient material can range from lettuce to commercial preparations such as Liquifry. The key element is to ensure all materials used are free of pests that might harm the young fish fry.
