It is our go to food for these cultures because it is convenient to store, simple to use and supports dense, productive cultures. Rice bran also provides a nutritious gut load, helping increase the nutritional value of the live foods before they are fed to your fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding Filter Feeder Cultures - Moina, Daphnia \u0026amp; Infusoria\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace a small amount of rice bran in a piece of old cloth and wrap securely. Submerge the cloth in a small container of aquarium water and squeeze repeatedly. This releases the fine particles and creates a milky suspension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd the suspension sparingly to your culture, aiming to maintain only a very light haze in the water. For best results, feed every 1–2 days, adjusting the amount according to the size and density of your culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA little goes a long way. Avoid overfeeding, as excessive rice bran can reduce water quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding Grindal Worms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSprinkle a small amount of rice bran powder over the surface of the culture medium. Start with only enough to create a light dusting. Add more once most of the previous feeding has been consumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor easier harvesting you can place a piece of plastic, tile or glass on top of the culture after feeding. The worms will congregate on the underside making them easy to collect and rinse before feeding to your fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcess rice bran can spoil so it is better to feed small amounts frequently than to add too much at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor aquarium live food cultures only.
