:small_orange_diamond:BREAKING NEWS: Adventures in CUBE Homelab 6th July 2023​:small_orange_diamond:
In Moina macrocopa jsk1 Homelab Ulwe bottle culture, no moving moina are seen but still the culture is saved. Read to know how:

This moina culture was brought from Sophia College through Saida on 17th June 2023. Moina was being cultured in single bottle with 250ml water and 1 drop milk. ( Goof-up😬 No replicates were made)

The last observation was made on 4th July 2023 where I was able to see 70-80 moina. In order to replicate the culture on 4th July 23 I added around 10 moina in an ice cream tub which was kept in the balcony and rain water got collected in that.( Goof-up::grimacing: Update regarding this was not shared in groups)

Today i.e. 6th July 23 when i observed the bottle no moving moina was observed. But when I looked in that tub culture I was able to see 5-7 moina moving​:astonished::face_exhaling:.

This is the ice cream tub culture in which I had added approx 10 moina on 4th July 2023 As this was kept open in balcony it has Algae, Some amount of Soil etc. Today before making this observation I added 3 drops of milk in this culture. It’s volume is around 750ml. CUBE Homelab Ulwe Navi Mumbai, 6th July 2023. Video: AbhijeetSingh.

Major question:
How did all moina die in bottle culture?:face_with_monocle:

For answering this question we need to know what exactly I did on 4th July 2023🤔?

→ How did I transfer approx 10 moina in Ice cream tub culture on 4th July?

I tilted the moina culture bottle in the ice cream tub so that along with water moina would also go.

Now after this the volume of water in the bottle came down to below half of the bottle, so I added water in the bottle culture.

Where did I get this water from? Was it Dechlorinated?

I took the water from a brass vessel kept in my kitchen. I asked my mother when she had filled the water in the vessel? She said she cannot remember exactly but maybe 7:30 or 8 am in the morning of 4th July.

When did I transfer water from the vessel into the bottle?

Around 8:30am on 4th July.

Is that why moina died? How shall we find out through an experiment?
