Looking for live rotifers (rotifiers)

[assiegordon]

Morning all,

My clowns started laying eggs (being the first time, they were not suppose to make it). It looks like these might hatch in the next day or so. I have phyto and can hatch artemise, but need live rotifers (rotifiers). Anyone know of a source in Ottawa? Anyone cultivating them?

Thanks in advance,

Jim

Those are L strain Rots. You need S strain for Clownfish larvae.

Interesting.

What strain do mandarin gobies need?

[RKelman]

SS-Strain Rotifers and Calanoid copods are the 2 best bets it seems deafgoose. Mandarins are a tough one. I've considered breeding them but I decided I'd just poke my eye with a sharp stick instead.

I'm off topic but do you have any macroalgae to trade, and what kind thanks. I also live in Ottawa.
