Wonderful videos, love seeing this and the swarms of lovely moina which are better than magna, healthier for fish. I have to start from moina eggs. So far they hatch OK and I can make green water. Unfortunately my green water wasn't ready so had to start with yeast and spirulina early on. I killed them all because I put some sugar in the yeast to feed the yeast before I fed it to the moina. Yeast forms alcohol as a by product of eating the sugar, this alcohol killed the moina. Sigh. So Im starting again. Second time lucky with your help maybe.
You can do it bro. I had experience what happen to your gw. I started with greenwater from my goldfish and it works. Emerald green or chlorella will come out 90 days from you started culturing it. Keep cultivating the green water. Good luck
@@rootsandgills6110 90days!!! Isn't that's too long. I can make in five days using filtered pond water. We don't have rice-bran here is there something else I can use? At the moment I'm just using cow poo. Thank-you for answering and your encouragment R&G.
@@rootsandgills6110 Ok I'm hoping I can. I seem to be able to make it but not enough. Need to get a few cultures going same time. Moment I just have one five litre plastic bottle of good dark emerald green stuff. This I'm feeding the moina with and now using as mother for another bigger culture, one of that 18lire water bottles they use in offices. I will try rice wash with the cow dung pellets. Will have to buy some rice. We use non-wash Japanese rice and Uncle Ben (lol). Is any starch ok? What about corn flour or potato wash, raw or cooked, or pasta wash? Doesn't the starch go rotten? I see you just use a very little....BTW love your nets, those fine fine nets are very hard to find, just the small round ones 2x size easy to find, same same as your round ones, pink green etc. I'm keeping Japanese rice fish R&G, think you would like them they're very loving and cute. Thanks for your help.
Another question lol. These daphnia do crazy things. Im trying to understand why. Is it good that they spend lots of time at the bottom? Then suddenly all swarm to the top? Also I'm finding the green water or Chlorella vulgaris settles to the bottom after a day or so in the daphnia containers. Is it ok to stir it up and how often? I thought this Chlorella was meant to stay in the water column normally. Could my Chlorella be the wrong species, too heavy? I'm stirring the green water culture every time I look at it. It's easy to grow with just two tablespoon animal manure pellets, in 18Litre container mix with Chlorella starter and spring water from our mountain stream. This is chicken and cow poo compressed pellet enriched with algae and the incorporation of zeolite. We don't have rice-bran here but I'm still looking. I also add calcium in the form of Calcium Nitrate Tetrahydrate not sure i need to but it makes the water more alkaline I think. I too have a magic stick which is very busy but the shape is wrong, must make another one. I am also growing daphnia as experiment with papaya leaves, these I put in a blender which chops them up and allow to rot a bit before adding the Moina daphnia, so far they seem to love fresh papaya leaf juice too. Thanks R&G.
Good day. Yes moina will stay at the bottom with it is hot and came out usually sunset or sunrise. You can use flour or rice water bro. The one byproduct when you wash the rice to cook. You can stir the culture bro so the green water sunk at the bottom will go up and circulate You can try that animal manure pellets bro. The key point is fermentation at least 3 days to 1, week. I saw a method using banana leaves as they said it works. You can try cucumber juice too just strain the solid part with bbs net. If green watet sunk at the bottom and the upper part is clear just stir the culture it's kinda like they got shock with new environment.
@@rootsandgills6110 So R&G is it starch that comes out the rice bran? So the culture needs starch and lots of it by the looks of what comes out of Rice-bran when squeezed. Hmmmm.......When the daphnia "boom" d they swim on the surface mostly, is that how you know? How do you know when ready to boom then die?
@@rootsandgills6110 I guess im stiring all day......I leave the chlorella culture for five - six days untill I cant smell anything. it's very very hot now, same I think where you are so the water turns green in one day but the pellet I use is slow dissolving organic cow and poultry manure, means it last longer before its used up.....how long can you keep the same green water, can you just add more food or do you need to start again every so many days/weeks, or is it ok as long as its still green? How long also does your Daphnia take to boom, is it three days from new cuture? Thats very quick. So every three days you need to start a new one is it?! Maybe better give up fish and just keep daphna LOL. the fish love it though, they get lots of energy from this food and the colour very good.
@@riverp9019 every 7 days i open new culture from the previous culture. i maintain my green water culture almost 2 years already. to keep you culture going every 7 days you need to open new culture.
Good afternoon again. I just wanted to shout out R&G. I know you use water bottles for making green water and it works but you know those large plastic bottles they use in offices for water dispensers, like the ones near your well tap. Can you produce green water in those? Does the blue colour of the plastic make it difficult or OK? I got six of these empty, see through blue colour and wondered if I could use them. I prefer to leave the tops on to stop mosquitoes, is this ok or must the tops be cut off? Interested to hear your experience using these if you have. Thanks.
Good day sir. Yes you can use it way better than a black pale. Remove the top part so air can touch surface and green water reproduce fast. Harvest mosquito eggs every morning.
@@rootsandgills6110 Thank you sir! The bottles are nineteen litre. If I three quarter fill them the air is good with the top open or not. Hmmm mosquitoe eggs can be fed to fish? I still only have five litres green water left and my moina is getting hungry so I will have to feed yeast and spirulina meantime even though very expensive.
open top sir is better . eggs cant be feed to fish. in my experience i let mosquito eggs hatch and grow just dont let it turn to pupa. i feed them to my fish high protein also.
Sana gagawa ka pa ng video from green water up to harvest dapnia moina at paano e maintain hanggang sa magharvest muli..from cotabato.
