Pod harvesting

[Codeblack88]

Hi, I am planning on culturing a mix of tigger/tisbe/cyclops pods for a school project. I was thinking of letting the culture grow for two weeks then harvesting once a week by running through a 250 and a 53 micro seives to separate the adults and juveniles. Then I would put the adults back into a new culture and place the juveniles into my fuge.

Is this a good idea or should I harvest in a different way?

Seems pretty good, Once you harvest the first batch I would maybe put them in a new container with fresh saltwater to clean out all the detritus

sounds good. So harvesting like that won't overharvest my culture?

As long as your culture grows enough to be harvested in 2 weeks then you should be fine. What will you be feeding them?

Nanno should be ok, just careful dosing and make sure not to overfeed them, add enough phyto till the water has a slight green tinge
