dwarf horse food.
What is the best and most readily available food for dwarfs. I have some decapped brine eggs but never seem to get much of a good hatch rate. any insight on hatching would be great. Thanks!

I use the soda bottle method and it works great. I use the decap brine shrimp from SeahorseSource.com.
Baby Brine shrimp is the best food for dwarves. Newly hatch is brest and then enrich baby brine shrimp. |

I've also raised L strain rotifers with copepods (accidental introduction) and was able to provide supplemental feedings to dwarfs (for say, a failed hatch of bbs). For a while, I had such a high yield, I was able to feed my dwarves exclusively copepods and rots for weeks at a time.
I used two 5 gallon buckets that were lightly aerated. I had my highest yield feeding live phytoplankton, but had good yields using frozen phyto. The only problem I had was occasional crashes, but since it was only supplemental and I still hatched bbs most of the time, that wasn't a problem.

Thanks ya'll. that is what I was looking for. Now what more can I do to make the bbs more enriched. Or just feed immediately after hatching? Thanks again!
