Ok, heres the situation. I set up a hatchery cup for my infosoria and they have been outside in the sun for almost two days. I don't know how to tell if they hatched. anybody got pics?

how did you set it up?

usually you get cloudy water

 

[jlOisAhoTti]

I added a quart of luke warm water and added a piece of lettuce.

 

[smurfyy_2k3]

i had better success with potato

 

[jlOisAhoTti]

I'll try that next time. So all I have to look for is cloudy water? Do they move at all?

 

[smurfyy_2k3]

microscopic you may be able to see some of the larger ones

 

[jlOisAhoTti]

Alright, thank you so much

 

[smurfyy_2k3]

no problems

Make sure you use aquarium water and squirt some filter mulm in.

Oh crap, forgot I didn't use dechlorinator! Does this matter?

once the water is kinda cloudy, you will be able to tell when they are there because they will clean the water a tad. but then after a bit they will grow from eating and stuff and then it will get cloudy again. it's kind of hard to tell if your not checking the cup like twice a day, morning and evening or somethin. the slightest difference can show you signs, so never feel like your checking too much. i tried to do this once and i never got any. you may wanna try, like he said, a potatoe. i always heard banana is the best way to go.

Yes, it makes a big difference. Aquarium water contains natural infusorians.
You will get much better results with this.

One last question. Should I keep it heated?

 

[smurfyy_2k3]

would help growth but not strictly needed
