Quick update on my end of the project:
The young filamentosis are doing great. The males are developing the filament and the females are staying a lighter color, some almost tan colored and their horizontal stripes sometimes show as a series of squares.
I will seperate the pairs when I see breeding colors and a sign of possibly, hopefully pairing off.
The Moina cultures are blossoming in the culture with a heater, the others I let stay cool to slow them down.. easy and quite productive.
I’m getting Blackworms today and have that all ready.
I’m at the point to read more, keep and eye on parameters,etc. and wait, patience is most important.
BTW it seems that Amazon Frogbit (limnobium laevigatum) makes a very nice floater
