Although we have never truly used the Decapsulated aggs as a food source I can only suggest that you try and see what happens.

As far as letting the uneaten eggs hatch.. no likly going to happen. If you decapsulated them yourself there is a much better chance they would hatch but in my opinion you would be better off with a live culture. I have instructions on my web site for how to culture Phytoplankton and if you can do that Rotifers are easy.

You will probably find that the process of decapsulation takes about as long as the time put in to culture some live food.

There is no space in my tiny condo to culture live foods and keep it out of sight from guests.

Also, I use BBS because I can make some today and not tomorrow. And then start up another batch on the weekend. If I had room to culture rotifers, I still wouldn't because I need to constantly monitor them. Unless I can leave them alone for 3 or 4 days at a time, it just won't work.

See Clownfishs by Wilkerson for a full description of the process.

Hey Wendell, do you neutralize the bleach?

another UPS ripoff

Yup. Just got their bill today for $24.64 even though I never accepted the package. I guess I will have to call them and sort this mess out now.

Here's a good one. After I refused to accept the shipment, they decided to bill me $55.91 to return it to sender.

No, its not over. They've "waived" my $55.91 return fee but now they've hired Dunsgram collection services to collect the original $24.64.

All this because I refused to accept a package from UPS. I think they are intentionally trying to make my life difficult. All I did wrong was asked Brine Shrimp Direct to mail me an order using Postal Service. Now UPS wants me to pay for not accepting their services. Hm, I wonder if I can counter sue them for wasting my time?

Oh, and there's no 1-800 number to call either. I have to call them direct long distance to resolve this.
