The rots are OK.
Culturing DT's is not a good idea. It hardly ever works because it is a mix of algaes that do not grow well together. It is, however, excellent rotifer food. you just have to buy a lot of it. See if you can find someone in florida that cultures phyto and ask them to mail you some. Florida aqua farms should not be too far away. Or you can buy a year's supply of instant algae from Reed. |

Jacob, cool pics, it looks like you have some healthy clowns there! Yes, you could start them on bbs earlier, but they look pretty good to me. Good luck and keep us updated.
ebzhighestbidder: The Reed algae concentrate is the way to go. You can freeze small amounts of the concentrate and defrost a small bottle every few weeks in the fridge, makes a bottle last a long time. I've ordered from Paul Sachs (aquaculturestore) before, I'd recommend him for rots (and cheap too!). You can start cultures from DT's, but it's a bit tricky now that it contains several strains (one usually takes over the culture), and using the paste is easier/more economical. |

I've been using the Rotifer Diet this time, and the rotifers DO seem to be darker and better fed. It's a mix, vs. some of the other IA which is pure. With the RD, you can freeze it, but it turns into a big icecube. So I leave it in the fridge (recommended) and use and old small IA bottle to mix it with saltwater.
Just wish I could pick it up locally; the shipping cost is a bear!

jacob very cool. in about 6 months i am moving down to the eastern shore of VA and i am starting to look for lfs that are close but the ones are all in Virginia beach what can you tell me about some of them. Are there any clubs that you know of on my side of the bay bridge tunnel.
thanks mike |

The best LFS in the eastern United States is on the Eastern Shore( although just over the border in Maryland): Dr. Mac's Pacific East Aquaculture. I actually bought the male Black ocellaris from him. It still may be a little drive depending where on the Eastern shore you will be living, but well worth the drive. Here in Virginia Beach are Fish Safari and Reef Chief. They are the only reputable LFS IMO. I am not sure of any clubs on your side of the CBBT but we have a club here the Hampton Roads Reef Club.
