Best way to culture limpets quickly?
I have one 5 gallon Walstad that has been doing great for years, but I’m also experimenting with several “jarariums” of varying sizes (from 1 gallon to tiny candle jars, one of which is surprisingly healthy!) I’m finding that my Malaysian trumpet snails (my primary algae cleanup crew) don’t always do well in the smaller jars, but my native freshwater limpets do. Problem is, when I need to source the limpets from my other tanks/jars, they’re so tiny that they’re a little hard to find, so I’m hoping to make a limpet nursery jar that will give them the ideal conditions to thrive and reproduce without giving them a ton of decorations or dense substrate to hide in. I’ve done this successfully with copepods/amphipods/etc., but even in those jars, the limpets are hard to find. The one in this video is one of the biggest I’ve seen, and it was still only a few mm long.
What recommendations do y’all have for freshwater limpet culturing? I’m open to any and all ideas!
TIA for your insight!
