Has anyone used S-Type Rotifers for Clownfish larvae?

[Lou Young]

I have been using the L Type rotifers to feed my clownfish larvae and they have been doing great for my Ocellaris pair, but now I have a new hybrid Percula pair that's been laying and the larvae are noticeably smaller. The new larvae are not eating the L type rotifers. I can actually see them swim up to them and then turn away. They end up dying by day 4-5 after their egg sac is gone.
I saw on Reed Mariculture site that the S Type rotifers are a lot smaller than the L Type and figured I would give them a try. Just wanted to know if anyone had experience with them and if they required any different feeding/culturing methods than the L Type?
Thanks
Lou

Our (Reed) "S" strain has never been used with clownfish, if that helps.

Guess I will be the "guinea pig" then because I just ordered 2 million of them from Dr Eric today. Could be a waste of $93, but I have been known to spend money more foolishly. hehe
Anyway I will let you know how the experiment turns out.

$93 for 2 million? How much of that is shipping?

 

[Lou Young]

Shipping always seems to be a killer whenever I need anything, from the tank I bought to frozen food and now more rotifers. I think I have paid more in shipping fees this year than I did for healthcare. Hehe
The shipping for the 2 million s type rots were $34. The rots were $30/million

I followed-up at work with the pricing question before reading your response. I understand now. I hope we'll be able to drop the price to that of L's in the future.

That would be great for us buyers. Just curious, why are the S Type that much more expensive than the L Type?
