FuEl Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Hmm..phytoplankton can be seen under 10X magnification. Green flagellate microalgae like nannochloropsis, tetraselmis are similar to shape to those "specks" (probably cocci bacteria for the smaller specks) in your photo although they will be much much smaller and will look green . These tend to move around and it would be good to kill them with formalin before trying to take photographs. Then again if you are looking for microalgae cells in a drop of tank water your tank water probably needs to have a slight green tinge for you to spot a few. If your tank water looks visibly clear you have to view alot of water before finding one algae cell.

blueheaven Posted September 11, 2005 Author Share Posted September 11, 2005 I'm guessing it's those little dots in the picture but the cells are so small that I can't even see the green tinge in them. The're really visible under 600x magnification though And the pics are from a drop of water mixed with a cap of phyto so I think they're all around the pics as tiny tiny specks (some of them move real fast, like pacman ) Quote But if you tame me, we shall need each other.

SRC Member marinebetta Posted September 11, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted September 11, 2005 Nano can only just be seen at about 400x mag, but not with sufficient detail to tell species.

FuEl Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Rotifers look cool man!!!Can't imagine the fish actually enjoy this kind of stuff That's why they prefer copepods or copepod nauplii anytime. Rotifers look very difficult to catch (if you see the speed at which they swim).

SRC Member Kelmen Posted September 13, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted September 13, 2005 ge.... just wondering you guys can get a snapshot of the infamous "ich" parasite? So that we other brothers can "recognize" these buggers. In Cantonese: See them anytime, beat the hell out of them anytime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 Ich would be difficult to capture I already spent about 10mins trying to catch some pods for my pics Maybe we should let fuel and marinebetta to try.

blueheaven Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 After 2 days, the phyto cells have sort of formed into a larger string of green stuff I pulled some out and checked it under 600x I saw many amoeba like creatures along with quite a few circular moving creatures Do amoebas live in saltwater?

FuEl Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Lol..I don't work with fish right now so I can't take any pics of Ich. But there's plenty of photos on net anyway. ...Dun call me expert...I'm not to that level yet....I'm just a generalist..just scraping off the top of everything from fish to reptiles... I can't be on par with a vet... Anyway...Amoebas are freshwater thingies right? Maybe those are phyto cells? Green phyto like Isochrysis and Tetraselmis swim around with a flagellum..

FuEl Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Haha..to my surprise I found these invaders to my shrimp culture. The bad thing with using natural seawater. Darn jellies..their eggs got past the 3 stage filtration and hatched in my sump. Set them aside to see what they grow into..hopefully box jellies?
