Clownfishes

[Oblivionis]

My Maroon Clownfish are spawning and I'm going to try to raise the larva. I've spoken to Rod and I've read some books so I think I'm ready to give this a try.
Here is my question: Is anybody in the northwest suburbs (O'Hare area) raising their own microalgea, rotifers and/or brine shrimp? If so, could you get me started with some greenwater and rotifers? Also, if you wouldn't mind, could I see your set up?

Please PM or email me.

Thank you in advance to everyone who contributes to this.

Come to the CMAS Pizza Party on Saturday. Randy Reed will be there w/samples of his foods. You have to let Doug know if you're coming though.

Jeni, where is this party and what time?

I'll send you pics of my culture station sometime soon. By Wednesday the latest. Talking to Rod and Joyce Wilkersons's book, "Clownfishes" were my sources of info. for starting out. Good luck with everything!!
