That's an overly simplistic way of looking at this. First, the DinoTiles that were skateboarded and walked on are still alive and still being used for our current displays. PyroDinos are single-cell asexual microalgae that reproduce by one cell dividing into two cells. Therefore, they are all the same cells and share identical genetic identities. As an entire entity or organism, they are still alive and prospering. We lose skin, brain, and intestine cells every day, but this does not mean we die. When you mow a lawn, you are not blatantly killing it; you just provide more room and light for new grass to grow. There are nuances you need to understand before accusing us of mass microbial murder.

Not the only one.

Yes. Here is a video on how to grow them in larger containers. pyrofarms.com/blogs/pyrofarms-blue-light-special/grow-your-own-pyrodinos-1

No these guys. Some single cell algae can re-hydrate and continue to live. But not these guys.

For optimal growth, ensure they have access to proper lighting, nutrients, and a stable environment. Remember to avoid overfeeding and maintain water quality. Happy growing! Pyrofarms.com

They scatter on the bottom of the bottle… is that normal

Try less lighting. Scattering at the bottom is usually a sign of too much lighting. Try moving away from light source.

PyroDinos can thrive for an extended period with proper care, providing a mesmerizing glow. However, like any living organism, they require suitable conditions, including light, nutrients, and water quality, to maintain their health and bioluminescence. While they can live for a considerable time with adequate care, it's essential to monitor their environment and ensure their needs are met to enjoy their glow for as long as possible. pyrofarms.com

This is a question we do not know the answer. We do know that glycerol freezing does not work with this species.

We do not book night tours. We send out invitations for scheduled Night Tours to people on our email list. To join our email list send a request through our website Pyrofarms.com or send directly to contact@pyrofarms.com

@@PyroFarms ok thank you.

Feeding is detailed in this short 2 minute video: czcams.com/video/TZVGcGs2wNU/video.htmlsi=4n0ZAApJBmwEYAzw

oouch. that does hurt.

Feeding is not completely necessary in the short term if aggregation occurs. Aggregation is a sign that feeding can take place. However, feeding is not an absolute requirement (in the short term.. weeks/months). You may also use your own sterile seawater at the correct salinity. more info here: pyrofarms.com/blogs/pyrofarms-blue-light-special/make-your-own-diy-artificial-seawater

Bioluminescent phytoplankton, such as PyroDinos, typically produce bioluminescence when they are disturbed or agitated. This phenomenon is a defense mechanism against predators in their natural environment. When the phytoplankton are disturbed, certain chemical reactions within their cells are triggered, leading to the emission of light. When bioluminescent phytoplankton are still or not in motion, these chemical reactions do not occur, and therefore, they do not produce bioluminescence. The light emission is a response to mechanical stimulation, such as waves, currents, or movement caused by predators, which disrupts the integrity of the phytoplankton's cell structure and activates the bioluminescent process.

How many days can it live without light? It depends on several factors. We do not recommend more than 5 or 6 days without light. However we have seen some shipments survive for up to 10 days without light. However, this is not the norm.

​@@PyroFarmswhat if I accidentally switch on the LED grow light for 24 hours nonstop? How many hours can it survive with continuous lights?

Yes. And edible for the fish.

No. This can not live in a freshwater aquarium.

Yes you may purchase at PyroFarms.com and cure it for as long as you wish.

The bag is called a DinoTile and is sold by PyroFarms. Pyrofarms.com

We currently ship to Hong Kong but do not currently ship to mainland China. You may request a quote for shipping to mainland China by contacting us at support@pyrofarms.com and requesting a quote. But we can not guarantee the shipment and will need to pay for duties and taxes.

It would be tricky but possible with right set up.

Via a chemical-enzyme reaction called bioluminescence involving luciferin and luciferase (enzyme).

They are edible and nutritious once you remove them from the seawater they live in. enjoy

thank you. we love it too.

PyroFarms does not currently offer a shipping service to India. Although we have had some success with international shipping, it is essential to note that shipping and Customs delays can have a negative impact on the viability of our living algae products.

@@PyroFarms ohh... alright, thank you

Come to kerala ❤.we have this man

@@ashwalshibu9619 ohhh yeah I just saw it, thank you

@@PyroFarms is it possible for you guys to just ship the nutrients? As far as I know it's just water with nutrients right? I did find some natural plankton that exist in the coasts of Kerala here. do you guys think I could get some from the coast and feed it the nutrients on the normal basis? Will they survive? as always, apologies for disturbing you guys over and over again, I really want some bioluminescent plankton haha

Not any salt will do. You can make your own sea salt solution using artificial sea salts from an aquarium store. Or by using our artificial sea salts: pyrofarms.com/products/sea-salt-formulation-for-making-artificial-seawater Please follow the directions and make sure you have the correct salinity. pyrofarms.com/blogs/pyrofarms-blue-light-special/make-your-own-diy-artificial-seawater

Thanks

Here is a link to the GrowPro LED Light: pyrofarms.com/products/pyrodino-led-programmable-grow-light

yes. You may add PyroDinos to a saltwater aquarium or reef tank. czcams.com/video/si4m4LWJRHE/video.html

@@PyroFarms thanks! Mine arrived yesterday and are doing well so far. Going to wait until the colony grows before I experiment with looks but I’m excited!

We cut the bottoms off the bottles and made holes in them and placed them inside the upside down spouts.

Bioluminescent microalgae called PyroDinos in seawater pyrofarms.com/

Yes. czcams.com/users/shorts1DuScQQ0H_U?si=29ckEgZE5Wz2bebk

Yes. It can be an experiment or just for fun and enjoyment

Plant - phytoplankton (plant-like plankton)
