  5. BBM is for freshwater microalgae, so what you need is a freshwater chlorella. You need to establish a good culture area to culture microalgae. Of course we can provide you the seeds and the media. Microalgae is used as live feeds for the plankton used for your betta larvae.

  7. Wow that's cool! I'm really amazed to see studies like this. Actually, I know a plankton that is used as a supplement to detoxify one's body and I take it as recommended by my doctor. It is known as the chlorella supplement.
