They still need phyto, just doesnt have to be alive. My understanding is that Apocyclops Is more difficult than rotifers and less difficult than pods that need live phyto. Though I have not cultured it before.

the thing with non live feeds is the culture water needs frequent monitoring and/or changing.... I'm using both types of feeds (live and non live) and all things considered IMO its almost a coin toss whats easier/cheaper, better et .... probably a thread somewhere already discussing one vs the other
