weesy74 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Where can I get live rotifer? Notice the eggs today. Just back from Bali after a week, so do not know when it was laid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomh Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 hi weesy74, Have you able to get the live rotifer from aquafauna supplies? How long is the life span of this live rotifer? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weesy74 Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Yes I got from them. But no chance to use it as this pair are baby killers! 3rd batch now. Hope they hatch. I think can keep in fridge for 2-3 days? Not too sure. Trying to cultivate them but with no success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is quite simple to culture them, Bubble them to keep them in suspension and feed Nannochloris algae everyday and adjust accordingly the amount of algae you feed them..

weesy74 Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Thats what I did. Both times failed. see them at the bottom of the tank after a while. SG 1.17. Maybe I bubble too hard. Water at room temp and tank got no additional lights. Any pointers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzat Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 How much phytoplankton do you feed per day? Live or Instant Algae? From my limited knowledge, you do not need light to culture rotifer unless you are using live phytoplankton. Just ensure that the water is slightly green at all times. Since you are keeping it at room temperature, did you do any water changes? The culture water is pretty dirty if you do not carry out water changes since the metabolism rate is high. It is recommended to harvest about 30% of the culture everyday to ensure optimum density and water quality. It may be a typo but specific gravity of 1.17 is too high but 1.017 is fine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
