Live Rotifers?

Anyone have suggestions on how I can possibly start to culture Rotifers by the weekend? Is this possible?

Any help would be great, thanks!

You need a live starter culture. Is there a local club you can reach out to. If you are lucky someone else in your area is already culturing.

I think I have everything figured out on how I am going to keep everything alive and start a culture, I just need some Rotifers and food for them! I hope someone sees this who already has some!

I would suggest a live phytoplankton culture before rotifiers just to ensure that you have enough food for the rots or copeopods if you choose to cultivate that.

I'm getting my rotifer culture going soon as well.
