Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Wildlife Management Chemical signal in water.

Hello.

After the fish, another example of these signals.

On the scale of microorganisms Bursaria truncatella is a ferocious predator it is also called the Ogre of the swamp.





The Bursaria truncatella encyst quickly as soon as there is no more prey.

The way that Bursaria truncatella wakes up and decyst has always fascinated me and it was a pleasure to do it

When they encysted I waited a week and I added prey for them to wake up.

Hello.

I have never seen their cysts and there are no picture on the net.

I would like to know if it looks like that.



I know it is not very clear, the picture was taken with a magnifying glass.

Fascinating stuff that you’re doing.

A friend told me it was indeed Bursaria cyst.

To see them like that completely asleep, in another form.

Just waiting the prey, to come back to life.
