Need Rotifers to feed Clownfish fry ASAP (by 10/3/11)

I have a clutch of Ocelaris Clownfish eggs which will hatch next Monday (10/3/11). These were an unexpected "gift".
I have ordered a rotifer culture and algae paste to feed them - arriving Saturday (I hope). HOWEVER, they will not multiply fast or soon enough. Please, does anyone have a viable, feedable rotifer culture they can spare so I can feed the larvae on Monday and for a week as my new culture grows. The clown parents will likely spawn again, but I hate to give up on the hundred or so eggs and the larvae to follow. Thanking you in advance.

before going nuts over the first batch - i would check a couple things:

1) how are you going to get the fry out of the tank - are they in the display? or in a breeder tank?
2) do you have a tank set up just for the fry?
3) are you prepped to care for the fry post meta? Because rotifers will not be sufficient after that.

The parents should provide eggs every 2 weeks if they are ok and frankly missing the first batch is not the end...there will be more. Congrats btw!
