growing algae

Place a pinch of fishfood in the bucket. Does the bucket have water? There should be water in it. If I were you, get more rocks and place them inside the bucket so you can keep a constant supply of green algae.

Flakes should work, never mind how much you put in it but the whole thing will be smelly from ammonia soon enough.:lipssealedsmilie: 3-4 days should do it.
