Started a second gammarus culture. I got a culture at an aquarium auction last year. I feed them dead leaves from houseplants I grow out of my aquarium. Feed them to my Betta and dwarf Livebearers.
My Gamarus culture is doing well. I fed them some leaf clippings today. I fed them to my Betta (Chester) and my Dwarf Livebearers (Heterandria formosa). You can see a fry. Cool thing about them is they practice superfetation. So they give birth multiple times within a few days. I've been having...
Dwarf livebearer tank. I fed them baby brine shrimp and they seemed to have a blast. I've been experimenting with new semi aquatic plants. I've also been doing a little stuff with dero worms and daphnia. My gammarus culture is still doing well and I use the water from it for the daphnia.
This is my dwarf livebearer colony. I've had them for two years, but recently moved into my 38 gallon. I had them in a ten gallon, but swapped the stock in both tanks. I've had semi aquatic plants with just the roots in the tank since I started the hobby.
I would recommend multiple tanks per strain. Live food water is great for fish. A lot of breeders use live plants like Guppy Grass, or Hornwort. A lot use sponge filters.
