Hello,
I was able to put out another 50 or so larvaes this evening.
I will try a small tank with 3 gallons only and a lot of pods and Brachionus s-type, I hope there are enough young and small rotifiers in there to feed the larvaes. New food which I will put in the tank will be enriched three hours before feeding with Selco.

Wish me luck !!

Bye Erik

Thank you,

but it didn`t work. Not one survivor after only 24 hours. I believe that the ( now grown ) pods have eaten the larvae. This whole stuff is so tiny, that you can´t see this very good even with a magnifying glass.

Bye!

Schieby, good luck! Persistence "must" pay off, right? (sure says the man with 14 failed mandarin spawns)...

Any way to post some pics of the larvae?

Hello,

I wasn`t able to get new larvae the last time. I guess breeding season in over for this year. If I only could get my hands on s or better ss strain rotifiers. Any ideas where I could get them??

Bye Erik
