5.2.2.Culturing Infusoria
Culturing infusoria can be accomplished by soaking substances in previously boiled water for several weeks. Substances that can be used include hay, banana peels, potato peels, dried beans, lettuce, cabbage, egg yolks, dried blood, spinach, tree leaves and dried aquarium plants. Unchlorinated water like distilled, rain, boiled pond water, and spring water works best for the culture.
