                      I added 3 drops of Sera iodine and half gallon of Tet to rotifers that were feed to newly hatched clownfish after 8 hours of enrichment. Just by observation it appeared to increase survival at settlement.          On another batch I added half gallon of tet and 1 drop of sera iodine directly to a large batch and within hours I had 100% mortality. I might have missed something, but I seem to have it down to a science without using direct iodine and live algae.         1st batch was Percs        2nd batch were Maroons

                      I dose w Lugols solution.  I think it helps, but I've never done a side by side comparison.  My theory is in the wild they eat a lot of crustaceans that are full of iodine and you don't see a lot of misbars coming out of the ocean. Most of the foods we use are fish meal based without much iodine.  But I'm sure there are a few other contributing factors.        Miles
