Hello All,
Long time no talk! I've been away at my college this summer, doing research in the neuroscience department, which involves fish (of course) and the effects of pesticides on neural development.
I came home for a week-long visit last Sat night, and naturally my first priority was to check on my tank, which houses a pair of Onyx clowns in a Rose anemone--or actually two, since just it split. But in any case, I noticed they had spawned, which had always been my dream, as I had always wanted to raise the fry. However, I'm not sure exactly how old the eggs are, as my parents didn't notice them; the anemones cover the eggs during the day, and I checked the tank via flashlight at night. But I NEED rotifers ASAP, as based on my knowledge of their development ,the eggs look ready to hatch any day now, and even if I order rotifers and microalgae online today, they won't be ready to be fed to the fry in the next few days at least.
So my question is this: does anyone culture rotifers, have an old kit for culturing, know anyone (including LFSs) who does, or can think of any other source for rotifers (and their food--greenwater--or the like)? I would sincerely appreciate the help, and I'm willing to trade/pay for the huge help.
Much thanks,
Kayla
