I've started a few cultures for live foods and plan to offer them in the site shop. I'll post a few DIY articles on how to set up your own live food cultures in links below so that you'll have a constant source of live, healthy and nutritious foods for all sized fish. From the smallest, microscopic fry to the big tank fish, we'll show you how to do it and hopefully have inexpensive starter cultures ready to go in the spring. Click a link below to learn more about how easy it is to culture live foods for your pets.
