    Feeding Utrics

    So has anyone tried actually raising brine shrimp or something similar for the express purpose of feeding Utrics? I know some of you guys keep aquatics in fishtanks, where they may get additional nutrition from the foods fed to the fish. Do they do significantly better with a source of prey, or...

    New babies coming

    My Aquatic Wetlands Prof. is going to give me all of the Utrics he collected this spring now that we have had our exam over the samples.  He has never been able to keep them alive over winter because they make Turrions and then poop out on him and die.  I figure I can prolly just give them a...

    Utricularia vulgaris

    Ok, I have the chance to get as much Utricularia vulgaris as I could want. I don't have any aquatics, and wouldn't know anything about keeping or caring for it. What size/type of container would I need? Do you need to circulate the water at all.. Basically I need a primer on aquatic...

    New way to grow utricularia?

    I had made a post on here some time ago asking if anyone has tried to grow Utricularia the way Geoff Wong grew his Genlisea in the SG book. I wondered this because I wanted to see the Utricularia traps. Almost everyone said to me to grow aquatics if I wanted to see the traps. So I decided to try...

    Wet overwintering of plants

    This was not a controlled experiment, but I feel I have to say something about the way my plants spent the winter.  I keep them in the unheated basement where temps occasionally reach freezing, but are typically in the high 30s (F).  I have in the past been careful to follow the stated advice to...

    daphnia

    I have purchased a daphnia colony and put half into my aquatics tank. I did this last Saturday. In the tank I have inflata, purpurea, aldrovanda, gibba and aureaus. The plants were growing fairly well anyway, but there is already some amazing differences since the daphnia addition. The one that...
