Breed Clownfish | Saltwater Fish

I know its not an optimal situation, But my clowns just laid eggs. I got a source of rotifers from a local breeder. I got a small amount of food for the rotifers. I am now out. In a pinch while awaiting my rotifer diet to be delivered, can they live and reproduce on phytoplex by kent? On the bottle it says it can be used for this purpose. any thoughts?

I guess the simply answer is yes you can.... It has worked for me for a short time and the rots did well.. Ihave since switched over to rotifer diet from reed....

I also used it about a week ago when I was out of rotifer diet. I guess it worked they lived. I've also read you could use yeast to feed the rotifers until you needed to use them for fry then you need the good stuff for the fry to do good I think you have to give them the good stuff for at least 4 hrs before you feed them to the fry.
I used the yeast in one culture it now has white stuff floating at the top. I'm not sure how much of it to use. I'll have to see if any of them lived or if I killed them. I cannot remeber the site where I read about the yeast. I wish I could it would be alot cheaper.
