Rotifer Culture Needed

[jimroth]

One of you guys came over to buy frags this Spring and very thoughtfully brought me some rotifers. I can't for the life of me remember who it was. We talked about feeding them the paste. Who has the rotifers? I think I'm going to have seahorse fry soon! Need to buy some.

Would any of these help?

steaman. I have a culture but it is too limited/small to do anything with.

Jim you do not need rotifers for H. erectus fry. They can take newly hatched/enriched brine shrimp from birth.

Jim,

It was me.

Jim,

It was me.

Thanks, of course I remember now.

But apparently I don't need them

Doh! I guess it's time for some reading and hatching. Darn, I bet I could have hatched sone for the last batch -- I have all the stuff.

Good luck with the hatch. Are you going to be decapsulating your brine shrimp for the fry?

 

[jimroth]

I don't think that's needed for hatching?

 

[panmanmatt]

Not needed but makes the hatch less of a mess and the brine are slightly more nutritious. I don't decap my own but buy them already decapped from SeahorseSource.

Not to mention that the decapped cysts are also a nice food source for your corals.

It is very easy to do yourself. A whole lot cheaper too.
