we got equipment to get ready for the next spawning!




the tank for the rotifers:



the phyto reactors to feed the rotifers:



we have to get a 10g to connect to the main tank for the next babies...
and a 5g to hatch brine shrimps too...

anything we are forgetting?

There is an excellent read on Reef Central under the spawning section about a guy breeding black percs. Very detailed on how to raise them and the food, also lots of pictures on his set up and methods.

"Clownfish" by Joyce D. Wilkerson is a very good read as well on raising the babies as well as the food source for them.

Best of luck to you.

Ill get my nephew microscope to check if my rotifers are alive or not.. I bought a bottle of it and it's supose to be easy to start...

mh, dont remember the brand.. it's in a bottle in the fridge at Big Als... but dont think it was that good...
my 2 mini bottles of phyto died yesterday! :thumbdown
I'm going to shop around to get better products...
is there brands that are better then others?
and for the rotifers... is it better to get those in bottles or get eggs (does it exist?)
