My Clarkii's have finally paired up and have begun laying eggs regularly. Being as it's the holidays, and I just switched jobs, homes, and towns, I'm wondering something. I read in Joyce Wilkerson's Clownfish book that a large breeder has had success in using pulverized Spirulina to rear larval clownfish.
I like to think outside the box, and try things that are new. Since I just can't start greenwater, rotifer, and brine cultures right now, I figure it can't hurt to give the "no live food" approach a try until I can get everything together enough to do it properly. Since Joyce's book is several years old, I'm hoping someone has tried this and could maybe shed a little light on the subject, or a link or two. A 10% survival rate would still be better than all of them dying in my 100 gallon.
Regardless, I'm going to try it with what I know, and will post my own findings here, but any help would certainly be appreciated. Hatch should happen in the next three days or so. The grow out tank is setup and ready...can't wait until I get to start cleaning it three times a day...Woohoo!
