Hey everyone, I have recently received 15 Scarlet Gem Badis as per local order via fish store. I am an established and experienced freshwater aquarist, owning a 40 gallon breeder with a sump setup (soon to be refugium/seclusion zone), a 20 long (housing said Badis, two zebra loaches, and a lonesome cory cat), and a small 10 gal (used for guppy breeding). I just got them and I have done LOADS of research on them. I seem to have gotten lucky and received tank-raised SGBs, so they will eat at least frozen bloodworms put through a zester.
I know they prefer live, moving food (being carnivores) such as Daphnia, Cyclopsys, brine Shrimp and various small copepods (living in an apartment at the time being, I would like to refrain from worms). But my main question is, how and where does one acquire such foods, and how would one raise a culture? I have two DIY brine shrimp breederies , but what would be the other setup for the copepods and such.
much thanks to all who reply!:grinyes:
