Infusoria refers to a diverse group of microorganisms, primarily unicellular protozoa, that are typically found in aquatic environments, especially in decaying organic matter. These organisms are often used as food for small aquatic animals, such as fish fry and shrimp larvae, due to their high nutritional value. Infusoria can include various species, such as paramecia and amoebas, and are usually observed under a microscope. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by contributing to nutrient cycling and serving as indicators of water quality.
What else can I help you with?
How much infusoria do you feed your fry?
I use a fine syphon tube and kink it with a G clamp to allow a constant slow drip from the infusoria culture into the rearing tank.

What is a zoodendrium?
A zoodendrium is the branched, often trelike, support of the colonies of certain infusoria.
What is a zoocytium?
A zoocytium is the common support, often branched, of certain species of social Infusoria.
What does baby fighting Betta fish eat?
When Betta fry first hatch they will get nutrients from their yolk sack until they are 2-3 days old. After this they will become free swimming and need to be fed. At this stage remove the male so he won't eat the fry. Now you will need to feed them infusoria. You will need to culture infusoria at least 2 weeks before you plan for the eggs to hatch. To culture infusoria get a 1litre (1quart) jar and fill it halfway with aged or distilled water.

Do lettuce rot in water?
Yes, lettuce rots in water. This is the first stage of the culturing of infusoria, a microorganism used frequently to feed fish fry.
What do angelfish eat when they're born?
Microscopic infusoria and tiny daphnia and other water born crustacea and insect larvae are amongst their first foods.
How do you make inforsoria?
Infusoria are microscopic aquatic organisms that can be cultured for use as live food for fish fry. To make infusoria, you can start by filling a container with water and adding a small amount of organic matter like boiled lettuce or hay to create a nutrient-rich environment. Place the container in a warm, lighted area and allow it to sit for a few days until the water becomes cloudy with microorganisms, which can then be used as food for fish fry.

What do you feed pet minnows I have some minnows and I want to know what to feed them. So what do you feed baby small minnows?
I found this which may of be use to you :The baby fry feed on small organisms called infusoria and algea. To grow infusoria for feeding just get a jam jar of pond water and run it through some cotton wool or muslin to get out any larger predatorial organsims like daphnia which will eat the infusoria and add hay the water. Leave it for a few days in a dimly lit room at about room temp. and when you next look you should see lots of tiny white dots in the water which, if looked at under a microscope reveal to be lots of types of infusoria in their millions. these can be fed to the fry by adding them to the tank. To get more just add some of the old water containing the infusoria to boiled tapp water with hay and repeat the other proceedours. As the fry grow their diet changes. When they reach about half an inch they can be fed small organisms like daphnia or cyclopses. These can be obtained by dragging a net through water where they can be see or they can be purchased from aquarium dealers. Soon the fish will eat the same food as the adults and will quickly grow.
