Do you already have a culture established, or are you planning on making one?

If you have a fair amount already set up, I could use some...my population of them is just starting to grow, so a jump start may be helpful... :)

yes could you go into to detail about how to start/maintain a culture of pods?

i have all the equip but it wont be set up until this weekend. i have a ton in my fuge i could use to do a seperate culture, but i'm just going to start from a store bought culture. most of what i have in my fuge are amphipods.

actually i'm going to divide a ten gallon in half start a seperate culture from what i have in my fuge on one side and then do another culture from store bought pods on the otherside. one side i will feed with phytoplankton and the other from some dry food or something else and see wich works better. its going to be alittle science projoct.
