Specimen care.

#1 Post by Jimbo » Mon May 17, 2021 12:47 pm

I would like to get everyone’s input into caring for your jars full of microbes. There are currently 5 jars on my front porch, which faces south , but I keep them out of direct sunlight. Is this right, or should I let them get a few hours of it?
2nd question: feeding. How often and how much? I used 1 oatmeal flake per jar a week ago and am wondering if I should feed them again.
Last question: combining samples. Have any of you just poured all new samples into a common aquarium or jar? I think perhaps this may not be wise, but I don’t know.
Thanks all,
Jim.
