Lots of microbes in the jar, great for observations or starter cultures.

Tho the product was most likely fine (I'm not sure, I don't have a microscope, and not sure how long they were in transit in the heat)...they didn't come with culturing instructions....I went by something I found online, but had mold growing in the culture...after sending a photo of the culture, asking if that was normal, I got some info on culturing...but the culture was no good by then

GREAT for feeding tiny fry of 1 to 3 weeks old. Only 30 to a pack? I need a hundred.Perhaps there will be instructions on how to multiply them. Or options to buy in bulk soon.
Great product

Ordered for a classroom experiment. Product arrived foamy and all parameciums were deceased. Posted a product problem on Amazon, and within a day, a new jar of fresh paramecium had arrived. Great product and the supplier is the best. Great customer support.

Delivery was a bit long, however once under the microscope it was worth the wait. My students loved being able to observe them. See yea next year.

I liked that the packaging included a sticker that said to open the lid immediately and to use the included pipet to add oxygen bubbles. Also came with instructions
