    Hi,

    I do have. Six cultures currently rotating and 2 more that I started a week ago. The 2 new cultures are for me to harvest for sale as I have a lot of various fry at the moment but I am sure I can make a plan if need be. Looking for R50 for a starter culture in water. You will need to pay postage which currently I have no idea what that is but I will find out in the next week. You will also need to make your own vinegar for them. When I am ready to sell I will post a "For Sale" thread

    I will also take. Tried to get one going myself and so far not successful. (Used Dischem Natural product no preservatives, but clearly I am doing something wrong.)

    I am new to this forum so not quite sure about everything. Where would it be for sale and how would I be able to buy some?

    When I am ready I will put them in sealed plastic containers and post them to you. I will put up a "For Sale" thread and anyone interested can PM me. I will then supply you with my phone number and we can chat via wattsapp. You will have to EFT me the R50 plus postage and I will then post. It may be easier for me to only go to the post office once and post all of the vinegar eels at one go. Alternatively if lots of people from the same city are interested you can all share one shipping cost. As things are now I will probably post the 'For sale" thread at the beginning of august and then post the vinegar eels at the end of August.

    Cant be worse than what I'm breeding. When are they coming? I am going to be selling starter cultures so it wont be enough to sustain fry for very long unless you use them to start your own cultures.

    Late in this month. I currently have a bit of daphnia and bs but not enough. Yes I'll definitely have to start a culture. It is so hard to get vinegar eels so please don't forget about me when you start to sell.

    I actually got very involved in my breeding and completely forgot about this. I have plenty of cultures ready. Let me find out postage costs and get back to you.

    Hi everyone,

    Completely slipped my mind again:(. I will go to postnet this weekend. I promise. I dont need the overnight shipping - they survive just fine for months in just water - so will look for the cheapest shipping option.

    I will also post a thread on how to make a culture and how to harvest them when ready. I will try to do this by next week.

    Postnet is R99, which is fine, i i have kept them before so no need for instructions.. the mother of vinegar that you get in dischems apple cider vinegar works to make new vinegar cultures.

    I will make a post regardless. Others may want to refer to it.
