Hi fishlovers

As you can see from the title my good friend Welshy and i are wondering how long seeded material will last in the post / or wont it as the case maybe (we know it has to stay wet with the tank water to stay alive) , what do you guys and girls think ?

You can always maintain it by adding a couple drops of ammonia to the water in the storage container.

Cheers BigJim but do you now how long it would last if we did that

If you keep adding ammonia in reasonable concentrations, you should be able to keep the bacteria going indefinitely.

I think he's looking for a set of days in case it gets stuck in transit in the mail. I think I've heard it can last a week if it stays wet and doesn't get exposed to extreme temperatures. Has anyone else heard a week?
