[Pete Luna]

No, too big. Hard to keep the rotifers alive ? In the fry tank or growing them?

this is what happened, before I put them in 5 gallon bucket, after that I transfer them to a small container and until now I don’t feed them in a week already because phytoplankton color is still green not light so rotifers are already dead?

I’m just curious man I don’t even feed them anymore coz green water or my phyto is still dark green it didn’t even get lighter but every time I grab some water from it and put it to clear bottle there are white thing floating around it, just curious about phyto maybe because it was near in t5 light and it grows while feeding to rotifers

Yes you can feed the pelagic nauplii of some pods. There are a couple of species that work well, and will give better results than rotifers.

No tigger pods are not pelagic.

Parvocalanus crassirostris Copepods are small (100-400 micron) pelagic calanoid copepods that have been identified as a strong candidate for culturing many species of foodfish and ornamental fish. At 50-100 microns, the nauplii (newly-hatched) copepods are a perfect size for small marine fish larvae. This small pelagic copepod is rich in essential fatty acids and provides good nutrition for developing larval fish.

Newly hatched fry eat rotifers, only when they are 3 weeks old can start feeding BBS.
