npub17ncsrs9w3s477cwu4ekuhw0h6nkely9lgmeakklsjjza5tq6dukshc9dam (npub17nc…9dam) Would you mind giving some practical advice? I'm wanting to catch some detritivorous amphipods to live in my fish-free fishtank. There's a little creek over my back fence, but how does one summon the amphipods?
I tried bringing in some silt from the clearwater stony creek in a nearby park (ended up with filamentous algae and a few insect larvae) and some silt and a couple of plant cuttings from wetlands in the next valley over (I got a tiny snail). Amphipods are eluding me.
