Re: Ever seen this many clowns? Rotifers have the necessary enzymes and are as nutritious as the food they eat.The larvae consume about 1500 rotifers each per day.I'm feeding about 500 larvae right now.Rotifers are the perfect size and swim slow enough for the clownfish to catch without expending too much energy. Rotifers also swim near the surface where the clownfish feed.Copepods hang out on the bottom.If the copepods swam slow enough,hung out at the top,and had the enzymes needed,I don't think I could achieve the proper density.(Approx. three quarters of a million a day) Out of the 500 larval fish I took on friday,I haven't lost 1. Rotis are very easy to culture.As long as it works....I won't try to fix it. |
