My Filamentous Algae Experiment Options

[goldrush]

Today I would like to share with you what I have in mind to culture some filamentous algae and feed them to the fish to ascertain the benefits these fish may derived after a period of consumption.Filamentous algae are used in this project because I do not use green water and is readily available at my disposal…courtesy of my koi pond.

These can be seen from the pics below that they are CLIFF HANGERS and all I need to do is to tear them away and feed them directly after cutting into minute pieces.

er, isn't it rather difficult to give views without "before experiment" photos?

ps off topic but your baskets b and d can go for tvr participation

Halo ranchu8 I have only before pictures of SV before they are thrown into the experiment but as for the TVR in Sept all have just discolored and all started with natural pale yellow as in all BBR at this stage.So for TVR at this stage it rather difficult to assess whether they have benefitted from the algae consumption as some maybe fed while others may not (Clue?)

When I reveal the result in due course perhaps I will subject those that were not part of the experiment to the algae treatment and then I can share with you the findings of whether the benefits are significant.
