Otothime. I'll check it out. Thanks

I got my rotifers from Reed Mariculture.

They are pretty simple to care for. I use a 5 gallon bucket and an airstone. You have to harvest 1/3 of it daily. I feed them a microalgae that Reed sells also. It's a lot easier than trying to keep greenwater cultures going, but a little expensive. It lives for a couple months in the fridge.

Cool! My larvae tank is 20 gallons. I started it with 6 gallons from the parent tank. The first few days I did just water additions. Now I'm doing actual changes. I do all water changes from the parent tank.
Ph=8, water temp=80, 81. I have two airlines in opposite corners of the tank. When I get them off live food I plan on adding a sponge filter.

It's a lot of time effort, not to mention your aquarium budget will increase a LOT. It's also very rewarding.

here's a link to a video of the latest spawn, due to hatch thursday night, plus a video of my current batch at 9 days.
