Infusoria Culture Video

[BeckyFish97]

Hi
I recently started an infusoria culture and last night I managed to get a video of it under the microscope with little micro organisms (I think thats what they are) swimming around, I thought it was pretty awesome so I posted it on youtube for you to see, here: http://youtu.be/tQcWJsHSX08 is the link!

I knew they were in the water, I knew the fry could see them, first time I got to see them. Good video.

Lol me neither :P I don't usually promote infusoria but since it was for a good cause (or so the fish think) I thought I should give it a try, that and I needed practice before I breed my betta's

Basically yes, Personally I got an old litre bottle, filled it with old tank water from my breeding tank that has plants in it, dried some lettuce, cut it into tiiiny little pieces and sprinkled it in the water, left it for 10days (I think) and stirred it a couple of times every day, taking samples to put under the microscope, and yesterday was the first day I saw movement!!!
