I got some just hatched baby percula clowns.

I have some rotifer cultures going, but im not sure i have enough to make it. First timer with fry & rots & roti chow.

When can percs go on baby brine shrimp?

When can they go on Otohime?

Thanks for any help. this is my very first time with fry swimming. I've read Wilkerson's book many times and she was right.

I typically start my perc's on bbs around day 6 or 7. (although my last 2 batches i skipped straight to oto a).

I start offering oto a in very small amounts around day 3 or 4 and only in the morning when they are really hungry it seems to help them learn that it is edible when their stomach overrules their brain.

How can I tell if the 1 day old fry are getting enough rotifers? it seems really hard to see the rotifers.


Thanks for the info

Look at there stomach's they will change to a silver color while consuming rot's.

Dazed,
What are you using for phyto? Microalgae paste, live phyto, ?


Thanks

I use the rotifer diet from reef nutrition:

I use to grow my own but it's time consuming and a pia when it crashes at the wrong time; not to mention that whatever i tried i could not even get close to the density of the ia.

Thanks

Same place as above; I started out with the starter pack they offer which gives you a bunch of different sizes.
A, B1, B2, C1, C2, EP1, and EP2.
