So I’ve started an algae culture. I know that fertilizer is beneficial to algae I was just wondering what type of fertilizer you guys use. What I have gone ahead and done is bought those miracle grow sticks and shaved some into a powder and poured it into the container holding the algae. Also, around how long do you think it should take the algae to fully colonize a 1 liter bottle? And has anyone tried rice or whey protein to feed daphnia? I have those currently on hand that why I’m asking.
 
I had an algae culture and put a tiny bit of dissolved Miracle Grow in it (the blue crystal-like stuff). The algae promptly died completely. The stuff you added might be fine, I have no idea.

i find catfish pellet food helps and feeds algae it has alae in it here are the ingredients: Derivatives of vegetable Origin, fish and fish Derivatives, cereals, oils and fat, molluscs and crustaceans, algae, minerals. with antioxidants EC additives. *Ergosan 20g/kg its made by King British it surtenly boosts the algae growth in my qumunity tank so much that i couldn't see in without having cleaning it:happy:

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
