As far as feeding, usually feed twice a day. I'll use DT or Reed
Mariculture's Rotifer Diet to beef up rotifers before feeding to fry. I'll also supplement with a mixture of flour, yeast, and fish food pellets blended with a hand blender. The rotifers pretty well clean it out of the water column, but it does have a tendency to crud the containers sooner, thus the water changes. This mixture is an economy thing, given the cost of DT and Rotifer Diet. I haven't gotten into culturing phyto, but will buy some periodically from club members at monthly meetings.

I also have some clowns eggs due to hatch on friday. I am not growing live phyto either. I have only been feeding the rotifers Roti-Rich from Florida Aqua Farmers. Whats your thoughts on this. I have been told that the Roti-Rich is all I need to feed the rotifers and that I don't need live phyto. I am getting frustrated because out of about 5 clutches of eggs, I have only been able to keep some alive for a few hours. But thats another story. If I have to start some live phyto, I will do so. I have been trying my butt off to raise these eggs. Thanks
