Thanks To Adam and Michael.

Paul, I'd be willing to go in halves with ya, granted I get a starter culture when available. Those were the two types me and Travis need, as well as the T. Iso.
 
Chris/Paul: Yes, that was the order. There is also a Chlorella (or something like that) that DT's puts in their blended phyto. It might be something worth looking into.

Adam/Chris/Paul: I'm definitely game at sharing the cost of those cultures. I refuse to attempt to raise any fish larvae until I have at least Tahitian Isochrysis and Nannochloris or Nannochloropsis. Thanks to Adam, I have Nannochloris already. I don't need Tetraselmis to complete my task, but I like the immune system boost that they give growing larvae.

Japenese Chlorella is also called Nannochloropsus, according to florida-aqua-farms.com. It's a very thick walled cell and is unsuitable for sustaining artemia, but very nutritious, not as much as iso or tet but not bad to have at all.
I'm not sure as to weather or not the chlorella in DT's is the japanese strain or not. But i remembered something bout chlorella and heres my two cents. hope it helps.

Oh, and travis, from what i've been reading I'd highly recommend the Tetraselmis. It may not be as nutritious as some others but it's very very close and being a larger celled phyto would make me think that the larger fish larvae would benefit from it. The Isocrysis from what I read is excellent for feeding artemia though.
