Microsorium pteropus (Java Fern)
Microsorium pteropus (family Polypodiaceae) is a popular aquatic fern. This plant can tolerate very low light and almost any water quality. These ferns should be grown on top of the substrate rather than buried.

Microsorum pteropus 'Tropica' grows to a height of 15-50cm and a width of 15-30+cm, this plant grows fast and is bigger than Microsorum pteropus. Highly distinctive with dentate leaves. Older leaves are sometimes lobate (up to 5cm lobes).

Microworms (nematodes) are another good food for fry, and can be fed to smaller fry than can brine shrimp. Microworms can be raised in plastic containers on a mixture of corn meal, water, and baker’s yeast.] ...

Micros can be purchased at your LFS or online fish stores under the plant supplements. Flourish, Flourish Iron, Kent etc. Most of the prepared solutions don't contain enough iron.

Micro algae's range from diatoms ( the brown dots on the glass ), filamentous ( hair algae ) and smear or slime ( actually not an algae but cyano-bacteria ) algae.

Microsorum (Java Fern):
Tolerate wide range of lighting and water conditions, slow growth, can be anchored to driftwood or stones.

Microworms
are tiny, microscopic worms used exclusively as food for fry. Cultures are sold by aquatic dealers and they are easy to breed. Make up a small quantity of porridge (or something similar), and let it thoroughly cool in a shallow dish.

Microsorium pteropus comes in a few cultivated varieties. There is the regular java fern, Tropica, Windelov, Phillipine, and narrow leaf varieties.

The microprocessor calculates a relative Chlorophyll Index and displays this number (0-999) in the LCD. An average is calculated among multiple readings.

Algae
Micro algae is consumed in great quantities by Daphnia, and the abundance of daphnia is usually proportional to the density of algal blooms. There are a number of ways to grow algae, all of which are very basic and require little effort.

I feed the young microworms along with powdered food. Some prefer newly hatched brine shrimp. By the time the young are released, they are large enough to eat most fine foods and you shouldn't have a problem rearing them.
Suggested Resources: ...

In about a week, microworms can be "harvested" off the sides of the dish with a finger (the best way), a Q-tip or a brush.

Produce clouds of micro-fine bubbles and maximize oxygen levels in aquarium water. Ideal for protein skimmers or for dispensing CO2. Suctions to inside of aquarium with included suction cup. Attach to any standard airline tubing (not included).

Usually they feed on plankton or microorganisms. These items are caught in the arms by minute hooks positioned on their surface. In addition, the arms wrap about the particle.

It requires a well-established tank of at least 40 gallons or larger with plenty of scattered rocks for perching and hiding, and live rock with microalgae growth on which to feed.

Riccia can grown extremely fast providing you offer it sufficient light and CO2 and under such circumstances it is also necessary to supply micro- and macronutrients.

Polluted water harbors chemicals and microorganisms that are harmful to the fish.
