I've tried my local dealer, but there were so many contaminates I couldn't get a good culture out of it.    Thanks!   Amph   #1 JimWelsh Total Posts : 1426 Reward points : 1486 Joined: 1/22/2010 Location: Angwin, CA, US Status: offline MBI: 1845 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:WTB Apocyclops panamensis Pods Tuesday, September 24, 2013 12:07 AM (permalink) Apparently, Algagen is never going to bring these to market.  Not enough perceived demand.       #2 Amphispur Total Posts : 417 Reward points : 853 Joined: 6/20/2012 Location: Larkspur, Colorado, AE Status: offline MBI: 380 Pnts MBI Site: The Southern Colorado Marine Aquarists Society Re:WTB Apocyclops panamensis Pods Tuesday, September 24, 2013 12:34 AM (permalink) Poo, any other ideas Jim?   #3 JimWelsh Total Posts : 1426 Reward points : 1486 Joined: 1/22/2010 Location: Angwin, CA, US Status: offline MBI: 1845 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:WTB Apocyclops panamensis Pods Tuesday, September 24, 2013 1:07 AM (permalink) What kind of contaminants are you fighting?  Apocyclops are really, really hard to starve to death.  They would probably readily outlive anything else if you just starved the culture for a week or two.   Another option is to use a dissecting microscope or other similar (25x to 50x) magnifier and just pipette out 10-20 gravid females into fresh media.  If the little buggers are too fast for you, you might try anesthetizing them with a mild magnesium chloride solution.  If you use a mild enough dose (less than 3%), they will recover when transferred into the fresh media.   #4 Amphispur Total Posts : 417 Reward points : 853 Joined: 6/20/2012 Location: Larkspur, Colorado, AE Status: offline MBI: 380 Pnts MBI Site: The Southern Colorado Marine Aquarists Society Re:WTB Apocyclops panamensis Pods Tuesday, September 24, 2013 1:10 AM (permalink) Contaminates include other pods mostly, I may try your starvation idea and see if that would work, if my local place still has any   #5 JimWelsh Total Posts : 1426 Reward points : 1486 Joined: 1/22/2010 Location: Angwin, CA, US Status: offline MBI: 1845 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:WTB Apocyclops panamensis Pods Tuesday, September 24, 2013 1:14 AM (permalink) What "other pods" make up the contaminANTS?   #6 Amphispur Total Posts : 417 Reward points : 853 Joined: 6/20/2012 Location: Larkspur, Colorado, AE Status: offline MBI: 380 Pnts MBI Site: The Southern Colorado Marine Aquarists Society Re:WTB Apocyclops panamensis Pods Tuesday, September 24, 2013 1:16 AM (permalink) Tisbe's, Tiggers, my dealer isn't too bright on BioSecurity...He takes his pods directly out of his 40g reef....WITH corals and fish and the whole shabang, and for the most part he doesn't know what he pulls out, because he never looks at em with a scope   #7 Amphispur Total Posts : 417 Reward points : 853 Joined: 6/20/2012 Location: Larkspur, Colorado, AE Status: offline MBI: 380 Pnts MBI Site: The Southern Colorado Marine Aquarists Society Re:WTB Apocyclops panamensis Pods Tuesday, September 24, 2013 1:26 AM (permalink) His just don't seem quite as hardy as my first culture. I've gone through 3 and each never made it past a week   #8 Amphispur Total Posts : 417 Reward points : 853 Joined: 6/20/2012 Location: Larkspur, Colorado, AE Status: offline MBI: 380 Pnts MBI Site: The Southern Colorado Marine Aquarists Society Re:WTB Apocyclops panamensis Pods Sunday, October 6, 2013 8:46 PM (permalink) Well Jim, sadly it turns out that his culture that he get's lately have been triggers and tisbe so back to the drawing board   #9 zimajays Total Posts : 203 Reward points : 351 Joined: 8/31/2010 Location: Lincoln, Lincolnshire, GB Status: offline MBI: 775 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Fish Breeders Club - UK Re:WTB Apocyclops panamensis Pods Monday, October 7, 2013 3:09 PM (permalink) I can concur that A.panamensis are bullet proof - these guys got caught in customs here in the UK for two weeks, and arrived alive and kicking Proud member of the first dedicated breeders site in the UK Marine Fish Breeders Club - UK H.Zosterae - 60 DPS   #10 Amphispur Total Posts : 417 Reward points : 853 Joined: 6/20/2012 Location: Larkspur, Colorado, AE Status: offline MBI: 380 Pnts MBI Site: The Southern Colorado Marine Aquarists Society Re:WTB Apocyclops panamensis Pods Monday, October 7, 2013 3:21 PM (permalink) Sweet, I think it was just something weird with his pods I don't really know what's going on, but I don't have any more local people that sell apocyclops anymore    #11 JimWelsh Total Posts : 1426 Reward points : 1486 Joined: 1/22/2010 Location: Angwin, CA, US Status: offline MBI: 1845 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:WTB Apocyclops panamensis Pods Tuesday, October 8, 2013 1:41 PM (permalink) PM me in two weeks.   #12 Amphispur Total Posts : 417 Reward points : 853 Joined: 6/20/2012 Location: Larkspur, Colorado, AE Status: offline MBI: 380 Pnts MBI Site: The Southern Colorado Marine Aquarists Society Re:WTB Apocyclops panamensis Pods Tuesday, October 8, 2013 1:47 PM (permalink) Thanks Jim will do!!   #13 Amphispur Total Posts : 417 Reward points : 853 Joined: 6/20/2012 Location: Larkspur, Colorado, AE Status: offline MBI: 380 Pnts MBI Site: The Southern Colorado Marine Aquarists Society Re:WTB Apocyclops panamensis Pods Monday, July 7, 2014 6:14 PM (permalink) Anyone got some that's going to the Conference?   #14 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon
