I put mine in massive jars. I scoop out a couple of litres of water, place it in the jar and then put about a heaped tsp of dry yeast. It doesn't smell and once the water is clear (as the yeast makes it milky) it is ready to use. It only takes around 48 hours.
As a long time fish keeper although I never intentionally tried to raise infusoria I did raise some. I would take a five gallon bucket and half fill it with brown leaves from the yard. Fill the bucket with old aquarium water. Add a tbl. of milk and leave it setting in a shaded area outdoors. After a week or so the bucket would be filled with mosquito larva that I could net and feed to my fish. Of course the larva were likely feeding on infusoria in the bucket. I never found any fish that would refuse to eat the larva but my neons went crazy over them.
Great video man, very informative and you have great dispositions in yoru video. If i may offer some feedback as a viewer, seperate the camera from the surface your shooting on. its creating a lot of camera shake and i found it distracting. Still managed to make it through to the end tho! good content just the same and not meant as a hate comment! keep it up boss :)
seeing how this is old you probably know by now but just in case- those weird little bugs that scooch around through the water are cyclops, they're a predator that eat infusoria. also make good fish food but obviously not for teeny tiny fry.
Gotta be careful with infusoria cultures when feeding fry as they produce a lot of ammonia. What I do is I separate them out using fresh water and light to concentrating in a small area.
I have tried every way .I brought icons warms ad they didnt work! I have even tried to make my own culter from Motors nothing worked am about to quit can u help me?
You didn't even show any. Just murky water. Wow can't wait for your next pointless video. Here's a tip. Actually do what the video description says. You didn't show any success. Wow 1 little sand flea. I won't be back here.

so do you just take a pipette straight from the container, straight into your fish tank to feed your fry? feel like that decomposing water is bad?

I would suggest using pond/stream water as well; it's already "alive" afterall.
Very informative video Bro

Just to say, sand ranges from 0.05 to 2.0 mm. smaller it is silt, larger it is gravel
Cannot see them.
A friend of mine uses banana peel, but he dries them first.
Mine smell like shit and nothing yet. I empty half and replace it with more tank water, waiting.

All those cutaways are making me nauseous. You need to smooth your transitions.
Too much extra information mate ! Way too long to get to the point .
