Hey all!
Newbie axxie enthusiast with a degree in biology here.
Have been keeping bettas for a while now. I'm planning to breed and I have been feeding wild mayfly larvae to my Bs as with no apparent negative effects.
To give you a context. I have access to a man made pond with select aquatic grasses and a sweet hand laid clay bed.
This pond has exquisite numbers of successful amphibian salamander and larvae. It also has great minnows turtles, daphnia and other awesome microbiotes. They all seem very healthy especially the amphibians. (By the way the diversity in amphibs is great some of
Them have bright fire orange red bellies and others are perfect tan brown bellied. All very healthy. ). So the question is:
What do people think of feedings wild larvae and other daphnia and cyclops species. They seem to all be VERY healthy. Keep in mind this pond was man made to harbor life.
???? Input? Keep in mind My bettas have been eating the microbiotes and the mayfly larvae.
Thanks all
