Packleader's 40 gallon thread

Nano - In regards to your question, I will be feeding a little mix of phyto/rotifers/general fish food. I will get pics up as soon as everything is a little more organized, and when I am done with the Bucket o' Pods logo design ;D

 

oops, n/m you answered my question for me.

 

lol cool, whats your plan for circulation, just an airstone?

 

Thanks mission. I know my set-up is less than ideal, but being a rescue I really dont have much to loose and I am hoping I will learn a lot about a fish I was going to hopefully keep in the future anyhow.
I am currently already working on the fuge. The fuge itself is pretty much done (made it out of a 20 breeder), the next step is I am making a stand that will accommodate it as my current stand is useless.
In regards to culturing pods, do you see anything off with my plan or ideas on it?

 

Yes, just an airstone. From what I have heard I shouldnt need anything more. A lot of people have cultured them with just an airstone in a jar on their windowsill. I am using a few separate buckets in hopes of having more pods on demand if needed

 

OK, pretty much what I am doing I havent actually spent a dime on anything for it yet, aside from ordering some more actual pods. The only thing I am uncertain about is temp? Do you heat yours or try to keep them at a specific temp?

 

i think myscis shrimp are a coldwater species... just food for thought if you want to try those.

 

Well, its still alive! Its definitely getting more comfortable, as it's spending much more time front and center instead of behind the structure. I do believe its already gaining some weight as well. And I did see it poop, which I will take as a good sign.
On another note, my pods will not be here till Wednesday. But at least the company called about it and let me know. They (FED-EX) are having trouble making their orders here due to the storms as of late, and the company felt better shipping it out a day later to ensure everything will be safe.
