Hello Everyone
Well, I have some news (reference the paragraph to Bill in my message #1146)!
Whereas Carolina Biological refused to ship Moina cultures to me, they did so willingly to their UK agent – Blades Biological. In turn, BB sent them on to me. As a result, I now have some Moina!
They arrived on Saturday and in surprisingly good health. Not only are they still alive, they seem to have increased in number on a staple diet of horse poo!
So long as I confirm with them, in due course, that the cultures remain healthy, Blades Biological seem willing to repeat the exercise – not only for me (should my cultures collapse at some point) but also for any interested UK fishkeepers.
