Cultures always smell bad. Try some microworms instead.

My cultures rarely ever smell bad unless they are past due for re-culturing.

I've never cultured infusoria because IMO it's only good for a day or two so I don't know what it is supposed to smell like.

VE are by far the least smelly since the culture is mainly vinegar. My microworms usually don't start to smell for at least a month.

My grindal and white worms are smelly because they have to be kept in dirt and I think the dirt that they came in had a high manure content.

I have micro worms.. but I was under the impression that the fry couldnt eat them the first week or so... The micro worms are really easy.

Fry can eat micro worms as soon as they are free swimming. The same goes for Vinegar eels and Walter worms.

I prefer to start with vinegar eels for the first few days because they're a little bit smaller and are better swimmers so they're great for fry who hang out near the top.

Wink brine shrimp choice

well brine shrimp can actually be fed when born. some breeders (like me) feed them once they're born because my fry's gorge on them. they eat and eat till they're really plumpy. i think different size strains of betta have different strains of fry's so some will eat it once born
