I dont know how long Decapsulated Cysts last but I have been using already
Decapsulated Cysts in a bottle.
They are in a liquid and a few drops gives hundreds of Cysts.
They are sold over the counter here in Australia with Hatcheries and also in
bottles ready for use.
They are alot cleaner to use than normal Cysts as there are no shells
floating around the top of the water.
I get near perfect hatch rates and dont refridgerate the Decapsulated Cysts
or do anything special.... This last bottle has lated me for ages...

www.ntlabs.co.uk is what address is written on the bottle.

Thanks :-)) It was convincing what you said about
not being worth decapsulating - I have no big problem
of separating shells after hatching but I was just
curious how is the thing with the storage...
If I could decapsulate a pound of cysts in one batch
and then use them all over a year than it would be
worth it, but from the description I take they will
not survive decapsulated for more than a couple of days.
So it is not worth it unless you have very delicate
animals to feed.

p.s. have you got my last e-mail I sent yesterday?

no, but I will at about 1 PM today

Cool.
