At the begining they where looking full of food but after a month in this contaminated sample we found most of the tardigrades went to sleep mode probably due to lack of food. | At the begining they where looking full of food but after a month in this contaminated*(you don't say contaminated, it's just a sample) sample we found most of the tardigrades went to sleep mode probably due to lack of food. | ||
Alessandro's input: | |||
We got clean tardigrade cultures of Hypsibius exemplaris and the algae on which they feed, Chloloroccum sp. | |||
Each week we removed some water from the tardigrade flask, and add some water from the Chlorococcum flask. This way we feed them. The number of tardigrades in the culture increased significantly. | |||
Chlorococcum was cultivated by refilling the missing water with spring water with 0,01% of plagron algal fertilizer. | |||
Then you can say which impression did you have while looking at it and learning about them | |||
