... swim through the water by means of circlets of hairs or cilia arising from the front of their heads, by the vibratile action of which they swim and disport themselves through the water. In fact, rotifers derive their name from the wheel-like appearance produced by the motion of the circlets of cilia while feeding and swimming. For culture water to have practical food value a single drop should contain at least half a dozen living objects that can be seen in the manner suggested. Water rich in life will show rotifers so thickly that they almost touch one another — probably two hundred in a small drop. In taking water from the culture tank to feed the fish it should be skimmed from the surface, Text Appearing After Image:
