Anyone here keep some cultures of this going? I had some going before, in 4 50 gallon garbage cans but i had a hard time keeping them from crashing. I think the longest i got them to go was about 5 weeks. My routine was to feed them all daily, a mixture of yeast and spirulina (cant remember the ratio or amount right now) and harvest 30% daily. I would keep 4 going at once in case of a failure....but even that didnt seem to keep them all from crashing out.

I am now going to be keeping them in a much smaller quantity, maybe 5 gallon buckets or a 20 gallon tank divided 4 ways with glass...im not sure. Im really looking for other peoples input on this. I know feeding my fry would be lot easier if i had a live first food!
 
For anyone interested, i found this paper:

All my answers were found in that!
