At 60dph they were distributed throughout all 110gal growout tubs for waste and overfeeding clean up. <message edited by hyperboy on Monday, February 20, 2012 4:29 PM> Jonathan Foster FishEye Aquaculture   #9 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata boggessi Thursday, February 16, 2012 6:49 PM (permalink) Originally Posted by hyperboy Well, careful neglect.  I did use rotifers as a first feed.  Looking back, I don't think it was necessary, but it might have been.  Have you tried that?   Oops, didn't see your reply before.  I have used rotifers in the past on a couple of my very first batches last October, but that was merely because I didn't have BBS ready.  Lately I have just been using frozen Cyclopeeze and getting much better results than with BBS.  I've changed so much about my methods though that I'm not sure what helped, and what didn't.  Ack!  Would mind please elaborating on your growout/larvae tank and the maintenance procedures you were doing?  Was it a recirculating system (with a sump)?  Did you bottom siphon?  I don't get how you did it.   #10 hyperboy Total Posts : 107 Reward points : 367 Joined: 3/8/2011 Location: Dade City, Florida Status: offline MBI: 1575 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata boggessi Thursday, February 16, 2012 6:56 PM (permalink) The larvae tank was a 25gal black round tub.  Water was aerated with an airstone, about the same amount of air you would use for rotifers.  Water changes were not done at first, but Prime was added at a dose of one drop per gal every 12hrs to control ammonia.  As the larvae got larger, I began to siphon using airline tubing (as needed).  I would siphon larvae into my bucket, so I used a pipette to put them back. This larvae tank was already plumbed into a dedicated larvae system, so when settlement occured, water flow was turned on and shrimp started eating crushed flake right away!   If I missed something, please ask away!
