Some good info which you've probably already read. Sounds like rotifers are too big to feed at first.

Good luck.

Yeah I have read that Rotifers may be to big I hope not its the only live food I have access too. I'll keep posted on how they are doing from what I've read if they survive to day 4 they should be good

A little update on my babies, Today is day 5, I have roughly 20-30 left alive out of the original 300 or so. From all of my readings after about the 4th day is your "safe zone" so I hope that means these last ones will be the troopers that live it out!
I've been keeping the temperature at a steady 78.F
Salinity at 1.025
Feeding 3 times a day of live rotifers
And have been doing daily water changes on the tank with an airstone to keep the water moving but not strong enough that the fish get tossed around in there new tank.
