I sure hope that first one is a molt. I don't think they are supposed to be clear like that.

Yeah, that one wasn't moving. I'll get more pics after things are up and running.

Once I get the culture ramped up I'm going to try 3 different containers to see if it makes a difference.

I ended up using the black bucket, the taller clear container and a 1000ml flask. The black bucket is working the best. I found the flasks to be too much work on a daily basis.
