No Live Arrival Guarantee until September Live Vinegar Eel Culture – 3 oz Start or refresh your own vinegar eel culture with a healthy live starter culture. Vinegar eels (Turbatrix aceti) are tiny live foods commonly used for newly hatched and very small fish fry. Unlike some live foods, vinegar eels remain suspended in the water column and can survive in freshwater for an extended period, giving fry more opportunity to feed. 3 oz Starter Culture – Provides a larger starter for establishing cultures more quickly or splitting between multiple containers. Great Live Food for Small Fry Vinegar eels are especially useful for: • Betta fry• Killifish fry• Gourami fry• Small egg-laying fish fry• Other tiny fry that need very small live foods Starting Your Culture For best results, transfer your starter culture into a clean container with a prepared vinegar eel medium. Apple cider vinegar and dechlorinated water are commonly used as the base, with a small piece of apple added as a food source. Keep the culture at room temperature and out of direct sunlight. Once established, vinegar eel cultures can remain productive for months with basic maintenance. ☀️ Summer Shipping Notice Due to high summer temperatures, Priority Shipping is strongly recommended for live Vinegar Eel Cultures.
