Northwest PA Posts: 87	I understand that what I am about to say if rather ignorant, but I would like some help as to if this is a possibility or something I am capable of. What is involved in making an insect aquarium in order to learn more about specific insects, for identification and tying purposes. Im sure there is alot of informationm to give but some basics would be nice. Mike

Site Editor Indiana Posts: 505	So you are wanting to raise stream caddis- and mayflies. Do you have some sort of bubbler to keep the water aerated? This is important, especially for the mayflies. See this older thread for more info...then we can go from there. http://www.troutnut.com/topic/625#2862
