Other food instead of rotifers?

Postby miamiangler » Mon Apr 27, 2009 8:28 pm

Since I dont have a culture of rotifers yet ... has anyone tried using Dr.G`s Marine Aquaculture,Inc. Phytoplankton? They are live phytoplankton . I have used it in my reef tank`s . Just wondering if it will work !

Most of the live phytoplankton is too small for the clownfish fry. It also can foul your water very quickly. I would be careful if you do plan on trying it. The food really need to be moving around (a lot like rotifers do) so that the fry can "hunt" it. Check on ebay for rotifers if you are concerned with price.

Thanks Scott , found out phytoplankyon is better to feed to the rotifers . today I found a pet shop that sells rotifers about 24 miles from my home so will check it out in the afternoon , I have 2 to three days till the eggs hatch , so got most of everything ready !
