No set schedule. Indoor cultures are doing ok, nowhere near as well as outside.   I have some in a styro in the cold garage that are hanging in there as well. No food or air pump. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #23 Felicia Total Posts : 41 Reward points : 115 Joined: 3/13/2011 Location: Philadelphia, pa Status: offline MBI: 300 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Culture Journal, Species: Tigriopus californicus Monday, March 14, 2011 3:45 PM (permalink) Originally Posted by Rook Very cool Tal.  Have you tried feeding these to the seahorses; maybe too small?   FWIW my adult H. angustus goes NUTS for these. She will hunt and snick each and every one of them when added to the tank. The erectus don't notice them. I started culturing them for fry, but by the time they are big enough to eat Tigriopus, they are big enough to take Cyclop eeze, so I rarely give these to fry, and only to get them on cyclop eeze. But my angustus loves them so much, I keep them for her.   #24 mPedersen Total Posts : 3450 Reward points : 1376 Joined: 2/27/2009 Location: Duluth, MN, US Status: offline MBI: 4975 Pnts MBI Site: Lake Superior Marine Aquarium Club Re:Culture Journal, Species: Tigriopus californicus Wednesday, March 16, 2011 11:19 AM (permalink) HOLY CRAP those are some thick cultures!   #25 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Culture Journal, Species: Tigriopus californicus Saturday, April 9, 2011 5:58 PM (permalink) Now that it's warming up again it's time to get things going again outside.   I didn't have any great successes over the Winter but I did get some to survive. Here is how each of the different cultures faired:   Outdoor 30G pond with heater: I think I waited to long to add the heater. There are some 'pods in there now but they may have come from the water I've been adding from inside. Interestingly enough, the salinity is still the same as it was last Fall.   Indoor plastic tubs: As mentioned in the beginning, I split these into 3 batches with varying densities. The tub with the low density seemed to do the best, but not great. I fed them RotiGrow occasionally and aerated them lightly. It was only in the last month that I saw all 3 cultures decline.    Styro in unheated garage: This method seemed to do the best, surprisingly. I didn't add top off water more than a few times since December and never fed them. These were often exposed to the cold when the garage door was open but it was probably around 40° when the door was closed.   I'm going to try culturing the other types of 'pods that are coming out now in the same way. Hopefully it works. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #26 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Culture Journal, Species: Tigriopus californicus Sunday, April 10, 2011 7:59 PM (permalink) Here are some pix of the ones in the styro:         http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #27 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Culture Journal, Species: Tigriopus californicus Wednesday, April 27, 2011 7:57 PM (permalink) I put the ones from the pix above back into the BRTs outside about 2 weeks ago and I'm seeing the population increase. I kept the heater in the one tub during the really cold nights but have unplugged it now. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #28 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Culture Journal, Species: Tigriopus californicus Wednesday, May 11, 2011 10:33 PM (permalink) I noticed today that the population is really starting to increase. A bit warmer during the day and not as cold at night. Should have a bunch of them soon. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #29 Umm_fish?

It doesn't stick, but still. What do you use for topoff water? Just a hose or do you schlep RO/DI out? --Andy, the bucket man.

You can start them (Tiggerpods) now if you want. Toss in a heater if it's getting below freezing at night and they should be fine.   Top off comes from the sky, most of the time. We had a nice little storm lat night that filled everything up. If I go through a long dry spell I will add top off on my own but salinty swings aren't a big deal for these guys. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #31 Umm_fish?

We evaporate like crazy around here. --Andy, the bucket man.

The rain takes care of it most of the time. I have used lake water and tap water with no probs. Never used RO/DI.   The other copepods might be a bit more finicky than these though.  http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #33 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Culture Journal, Species: Tigriopus californicus Thursday, May 12, 2011 7:01 PM (permalink) The population seems to have exploded today. I didn't see nearly this many yesterday. Maybe the rain last night helped?           Here's a vid, kinda hard to get good shots due to the reflection of the sky but you can get an idea...   http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #34 slosht Total Posts : 178 Reward points : 1162 Joined: 5/4/2009 Location: Clinton Twp, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Culture Journal, Species: Tigriopus californicus Thursday, May 12, 2011 10:44 PM (permalink) Population goes BOOM!   #35 Felicia Total Posts : 41 Reward points : 115 Joined: 3/13/2011 Location: Philadelphia, pa Status: offline MBI: 300 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Culture Journal, Species: Tigriopus californicus Friday, May 13, 2011 6:05 AM (permalink) That's amazing. Why do you think the outdoor cultures do so much better than the indoor cultures? I might want to try this. Hopefully my landlord won't notice.   #36 cmpenney Total Posts : 2772 Reward points : 1443 Joined: 7/18/2005 Location: Reading, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 70 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Culture Journal, Species: Tigriopus californicus Friday, May 13, 2011 9:42 AM (permalink) I wonder if the lighting and general debris that blows into the vessels has anything to do with it. More light means more phyto which means more food and I'm sure the decaying leaves and such in the container also provides some food source.   Chad Penney - MBI Council Agis quod Adis   #37 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Culture Journal, Species: Tigriopus californicus Tuesday, May 31, 2011 1:59 PM (permalink) Not sure if it's due to two hot and sunny days or the cottonwood seeds but I'm getting another population explosion:       http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #38 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Culture Journal, Species: Tigriopus californicus Tuesday, May 31, 2011 2:02 PM (permalink)       Yeah, all that orange-red stuff is copepods. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #39 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Culture Journal, Species: Tigriopus californicus Tuesday, May 31, 2011 2:59 PM (permalink) Micro vids:     http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #40 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon Change Page: < 1234 > | Showing page 2 of 4, messages 21 to 40 of 72 - powered by ASPPlayground.NET Forum Trial Version
