After much trawling the Net to find old write ups on keeping tubi clean n alive n most importantly free of parasites, i finally stumbled on a good write up back in 1999.
Cut to the chase, the current method i used is not entirely the same as the original write up but it seems to be working fine.
The hardware you will need:
A2 liter container, with 2-3 inches in height
A small cooling fan
An active carbon filter
Fine sand, about 2 mm height
A starter tubi 50 cents worth
Do daily water change, once in the morning and another in the evening
Feed with powdered food like spirulina or hikari first bite
Change the filter wool at leat once a month.
The setup like this keeps the tubi cool, and water clean. I noticed the water do not smell bad easily but you need to control not to over feed.
Lots of work but i guess this is the best bet to get quality tubi..
