I am wondering if anyone has any info on some kind of phytoplankton or zooplankton that can survive and feed a small school of fish in the same aquarium. I know that coarse particulate organic matter and fine particulate organic matter have something to do with keeping phytoplankton alive and those keep zooplankton alive. This might be another step towards a completely self sustaining tank besides the recharge of the electrolytes and what not. Are there any invertebrates either like could a tank live off snail eggs?

This is a good question that I have no experience with. Maybe some other members or Carl. He gets back Monday. Welcome back BTW! |

I have only done some small scale experiments with Infusoria in closed aquarium systems using cultures from the ponds I maintained. The bio loads of fish were very low, but the tank was well lit with good plant growth Here is an article you might find helpful (not from our websites) fish-etc.com/knowledge/infusoria-invisible-food-for-invisible-fishCarl |
