Help!! Need Live Rotifers for tomorrow! - Reef-Geeks

US Marine Coral · Newbie-Geek

Hi Everyone,
I have acquired a C-Quest Breeding pair of Black Onyx on Sunday and we seemed to time it right and they laid a nest the next day, but my rots crashed and I can't find anyone in my club(DVRC) that has a culture. Does anyone on here have some I can buy? I know it's bad weather and all, but I am willing to come and pick them up. Please let me know if you or someone you know has some they can spare.

Thanks,
Brian

I've got a culture going. I'm not going to be home until later tonight... probably around 10-10:30ish. I'm on the riverfront in DE. You are welcome to swing by then.

Thanks for the quick response guys, but a local in DVRC gave me some. Good to know that you other guys are out there. Can you guys send me pics of your larvae tank set up? I saw the sticky that Barbara did and wondered if anyone altered theirs any? Thanks

for two of your onyx offspring, sure.

for me, it's the difference between a 100% mortality rate and a 50% survival rate. I have details listed in my thread.
