What size OTO food should I get?

Well I am 20 days into my first clutch but I ordered A and B1 and they are almost the exact same thing. I think B1 alone could get you by from the beginning, the A seems almost pointless. If you plan to keep them on OTO when they are bigger maybe C1 or C2. Hope that helps but i'm sure more experienced breeders will chime in soon.
 
I ordered the A as well and I think you could just start on day 3 using the B1. I would just make sure they are eating the B1 before the rots are all gone.

OK, cool. I'm on day three of my first hatch. I'm feeding rotifers now. Was looking at feeding live brine with rotifers on day five. Not sure when to start feeding the OTO yet. But you and another person have stated to start with B1.

How long can you feed B1 until I need to move up to bigger food?
 
That is what I did, I fed rotifers up to about day 10, but introduced bbs on day 5. I ordered OTO on day 5 (lack of planning there) but Reed is in California and I'm in Florida so it took me 5 days to get it. So I started OTO a little late, on day 10, but they all took right to it. I'm at day 20 and B1 is still plenty big for them. I'm guessing i'll be able to feed it for at least another few weeks.
Now I mix between crushed flake, OTO B1 and Cyclop-Eeze.
 
I usually start with the A about the point they are ready to start brine, then jump to the B-2. They grow fast enough at this point that I find B-1 not very practical in size. C-1 is a good size for large juveniles, with C-2 being close in size to New Life Spectrum pellets.
