Beldt’s Magic Infusoria Powder 
One eight-ounce box is enough 
to produce fifty gallons of infu- 
soria. When breeding egg-laying 
tropicals or goldfish, the young, 
after they are able to swim, must 
be fed on infusoria. All young 
live bearing fish can be fed on 
infusoria for about ten days. 
This powder, which is guaranteed 
to produce the best infusoria cul- 
ture, should be on hand. In case

spawn, you will need these small 
infusoria microbes for food.
