Ok so after a horrible system wide crash, due to evaporation.... I managed to find another starter culture of these guys and MAN was it loaded. I lost count at 100 adults in the tiny waterbottle full of them. I will not be trying anything new with these guys, seeing as how I have already successfully worked on them thus far. In the future, I will probably run a test to see if A. these guys are actually eating the N-Rich (I was not 100% sure at the time I made this) And B. IF they are eating it, does it help the survival rate of larvae and full on development. Here are some photos of an adult and a nauplii. The adult photo was at 40x and the nauplii was at 100x: Nauplii: Adult:

Just so you know, I've tried these guys on NRich several times. I may have been over-feeding, but my results were: The adults survived fine on it but the naups couldn't or wouldn't eat it, so the cultures eventually died off. That said, I wish you much better luck than I had.

Umm_Fish, Thanks for telling me your experience, I find it very interesting! How long did you have the culture going? I kept my two cultures going for ALMOST 6 months off of the RG and NRich mixed together.

Then you did much better than I and I would say that you have likely been successful. I tried 5 times and managed about 6 weeks per try each, with the cultures having an initial bloom then slowly getting more and more sparse as time went on.

Now, I will also put into consideration with what you said Andy, and I will also feed one culture on pure Isocrysis when I get back from the conference in two weeks. I might play around with the amount of iso just to see how it affects it.

Well, I had this culture crash on me last year, a little after I had made that post actually! I managed to track down a source, and I'll have them after I get back from the conference!

Got them after the conference, and have had the culture up and running. It's doing great! Right now I'm just feeding RG, but once I get more iso growing, I will be feeding that as well, hopefully the nauplii will like the iso more than the RG
