Other Details
Other Information:	Generally, the SS Strain Rotifer is considered to be this species, not B. plicatilus. Obvoiusly up for debate, and arguably also impossible to tell unless you're an expert. For hobbyist purposes, it is probably sufficient to consider reports for SS Strain Rotifers as this species, and L or S as B. plicatilus.
