thomasellaby Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Buy a culture the risk of adding disease to the culture and tanks is very high if you just scoop out of the creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste84 Posted October 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 good point. do you think critters from the cement horse trough in my "front yard" would be safer? or would they still be a big risk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 anything aquatic is a risk because you'd always get some of they water they are in into your tank. Mozzies are an exception because you can transfer the rafts into clean water and raise them in that, so they have never been in contact with the water they were laid in. Or then again, maybe I am 100% wrong - again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
