Thanks for that What is the best stuff to use as a base for the culture and what temp should the culture be kept at. I got a culture from my local fish shop but it needed to be restarted as it was quite old, so I got a tub with holes in the lid and used some Readybreak. Is this okay or do you suggest something else?

Thanks for the comment, I need to ensure that I have it ready as my dwarf blue acara's have laid and I want to ensure I don't lose any
