I've decided to jump in and attempt to raise the current clutch of eggs from my breeding pair of Rod's Onyx percula clownfish.
i've never raised or attempted to raise fry before, but i'm excited to try. i've read up on some other experiences on this forum and found them very helpful.
they laid eggs last weekend and i expect the eggs to hatch this weekend or at the start of next week.
i just started my rotifer culture tonight, with the starter kit from reed mariculture.
the rotifers were in an ice pack containing temperature lock packaging which seemed pretty fancy. also in the package was the rotifer diet and other items i ordered, -- 1 quart of Nanno and the Otohime kit.
Otohime doesnt need to be refrigerated does it? It's powder and pellets so i wouldnt think so, but it was all included in the temp sealed packaging.
Also - how do you tell if you have living rotifers? i have a new 100 macro lens but even that didnt show me much. i see swathes of brown on the bottom and getting swept up w/ the current from the airstone.
The rotifer water from reed came in at about 1.024 salinity. i mixed up water to 1.018, and mixed the two in a medium sized bucket.
Parents have been laying eggs for about 6 months now.
Momma:
Fingers crossed, i'll come back with updates?!?!! :eek1:
