What day do you clown breeders start Otohime?

[Lou Young]

Currently feeding rotifers to clownfish fry until day 10 and then switching to Otohime a. What day do you folks start feeding Otohime?

 

[shifty51008]

I feed rotifers from day 1-7

BBS days 5-14

Otohime days 10-I think their size is big enough to switch to TDO

I don't use BBS as I have heard there is no nutritional value to them.

 

[shifty51008]

Bbs is very nutrinal when the have their yolk sack still wich is within 6 hours after they hatch, after the yolk sack is gone then there isnt much nutrition left unless you feed them with selcon 1st.

 

[Lou Young]

Is there any advantage to feeding BBS vs going straight to Otohime?

 

[shifty51008]

Not really sure, ime it does seem to help them transision to dry foods better though, there have been plenty of successful breeders that do skip bbs though so it isnt nessasary
