hi guys, not sure if i've posted this on rc before, but i gotta vent.
last week i ordered some s types from a canadian supplier and it finally arrived yesterday. i also ordered parvocalanus and some mixed zooplankton.
all three bottles were 'dead'. nothing alive.
i found a few rotifer carcases but nothing alive. i've held the bottles aside and took the lids off. i put half the dead roti bottle in a wide top one litre container and topped it off with dunaliella and nanno. in the hopes that some of the cysts hatch and start a new culture. i highly expletive doubt it.
as for the blend and the parvo, there's nothing i think i can do to get a culture out of it.
i've contacted the guy, but recieved no emails back.
i'm a little miffed. it wasn't cheap and finding s type rotis here in southern ontario has been a pita.
anyone got any other sources?
and what do you guys think?
