I have a Infusoria culture, i also have first bites, Atison's Betta
Starter, and i am going to start some other cultures (microworms & BS).
What i wanted to do was feed one set Atisons betta starter alone to see
if
its as good as they say but o-well it did not work out that way, i yanked
a plant from one of my tanks and since it was there for some time i
noticed with the magnifine glass that there was infusoria in the water
which they were trying to get, so even if i only fed them the atisons
they
would still be getting infusoria so it would not matter.

Sounds good. And needless to say the more plants the more infusoria. My
newly hatched koi are getting mashed egg yolk mixed with Tetra's egg-layer
formula. I also pour infusoria into the 150g pools they're in as "green
water." The green water is made from garden soil, fertilizer and plant
debris in separate tubs. There are also a lot of live pond plants in
their
pools.

I'm sure if you can have this thick dark green water available it would
also
help. Sunny windowsills work well. That's what I used in NYC in the
winter. Baby bettas thrived on it and the cost is nil.
