Got another scooter spawn and a bivalve spawn. I seived out the bivalve larvae and feed them to the scooter fry. They are chasing them around.

Thats a great idea. If they have a swimming motion and are the right size im sure they would eat them

Barbara · Geekette

you are such a sweetie D!!!

Aww thanks, I counted about 30. Just about every object you see in there is one. I had massive die offs and only have a couple left.

Barbara · Geekette

so....it was kind of a trick eh????

I was only counting the really big ones! sucks that a lot of them died off...we get that with the ocellaris too...so how old are the ones remaining now?

D3monic · All powerfull drifter

I stopped keeping track. Looks like the ones that are left are only a few days old.

Barbara · Geekette

what????!!!

don't stop keeping track! what kind of a fish rearer are you anyway?

any fry that survives is a blessing D! .... p-l-e-a-s-e keep track of them and care for them...we may be asking you to ship some over to us

D3monic · All powerfull drifter

its hard to keep track on how old a fry is when the horny lil buggers spawn every night. I just keep tossing them in the tub. Rotifers never took off

cultures are too cold in the garage. I put a 250watt heater in about 15gal of water. Its still in the 60's. I need to seal up the garage door. Hopefully a project for this week. Definatly need to do something. I would hate for my RO unit to freeze.

D King heaters makes a real nice garage heater that has to be hardwired in, it may be worth looking into.

wow....that really sucks...we assume that every temperature for anything reef-related will be at leasst 70d...guess we should stress that in our thread on rotifers eh? would you like us to send you more? we have plenty!!!!

... if you're keeping reef "stuff" in the garage then definitely you need to keep a temperature close to your tanks...I liked the link skinz sent 'ya!

D3monic · All powerfull drifter

the pods are loving the cold water. I might just have to invest in a warmer heater for the cultures. I assume they are in hybernation mode. Once I warm things up hopefully they take off.

Barbara · Geekette

I think they will too D
