I am going to have a go with the S Strain rotifers so its encouraging to know you did it.     #4 leo.agu Total Posts : 20 Reward points : 54 Joined: 2/1/2013 Location: Bosco Mesola, FE, IT Status: offline MBI: 205 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: [Synchiropus picturatus] Friday, February 1, 2013 4:23 PM (permalink) Hi Peerless. I found many difficulties in finding live food in Italy and in Europe. the only species I have are Brachionus plicatilis (L strain) and a specie of copepods (probably tisbe or tigriopus). Also the euplotes that infected my phytoplankton helped the larvae, i think. If you have b.rotundiformis (s-strain), the work will be easy, otherwise we need a lot of luck... if u find the s-strain rotifers in europe, please tell me      #5 Peerless Total Posts : 54 Reward points : 92 Joined: 1/19/2013 Location: London, Surrey, GB Status: offline MBI: 600 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: [Synchiropus picturatus] Friday, February 1, 2013 6:59 PM (permalink) Hi Leo, Some of the breeders here have them, I am being sent some S Strain. I imagine they got them from the States.  If I can get a decent culture going I may be able to help. What size was the fish at 70 days ?   #6 leo.agu Total Posts : 20 Reward points : 54 Joined: 2/1/2013 Location: Bosco Mesola, FE, IT Status: offline MBI: 205 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: [Synchiropus picturatus] Saturday, February 2, 2013 4:12 AM (permalink) Today (81 days) the fishes are 2cm (0,78 inch)...    #7 Peerless Total Posts : 54 Reward points : 92 Joined: 1/19/2013 Location: London, Surrey, GB Status: offline MBI: 600 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: [Synchiropus picturatus] Thursday, February 7, 2013 4:59 AM (permalink) Hi Leo, at what age did you start feeding NHBBS ?     #8 leo.agu Total Posts : 20 Reward points : 54 Joined: 2/1/2013 Location: Bosco Mesola, FE, IT Status: offline MBI: 205 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: [Synchiropus picturatus] Thursday, February 7, 2013 5:41 AM (permalink) I start feeding with NHBS the 25th day   #9 JoeDigiorgio Total Posts : 278 Reward points : 823 Joined: 2/6/2013 Location: Ft Lauderdale, FL, US Status: offline MBI: 145 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: [Synchiropus picturatus] Monday, February 11, 2013 12:35 PM (permalink) Hi Leo. What role did the copepods play in pre-settlement larvae...in other words, would you consider rotifers or copepods the primary prey source until settlement? Do you have any idea what density you stocked them in the rearing vessel and at what point you started doing so? Also, tisbe and tigriopus tend to stick to the sides ad bottom, did this create issues for you? Any updates on the fish as of late? Any plans to switch them over to prepared foods soon? Thanks for the info!

The problem with copepods is that they are slow in reproduction. On the other hand, rotifers are too fast in replication and this means frequent water changes.    I will accustom the small synchiropus to frozen food and granules, when they'll be 3-4cm (I think in a month).   #11 JoeDigiorgio Total Posts : 278 Reward points : 823 Joined: 2/6/2013 Location: Ft Lauderdale, FL, US Status: offline MBI: 145 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: [Synchiropus picturatus] Tuesday, February 12, 2013 12:02 AM (permalink) What species of copepod are you using?   #12 leo.agu Total Posts : 20 Reward points : 54 Joined: 2/1/2013 Location: Bosco Mesola, FE, IT Status: offline MBI: 205 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: [Synchiropus picturatus] Tuesday, February 12, 2013 3:19 AM (permalink) I don't know the precise specie, because I isolated them from my main tank; they are harpacticoid, probably tigriopus or tisbe. I breed them with phytoplankton, yeast and rotifers.   #13 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:Breeding Journal, Species: [Synchiropus picturatus] Tuesday, February 12, 2013 3:32 AM (permalink) If you isolated them from a tropical display tank, they are more likely Tisbe rather than Tigriopus.  Pictures would be helpful!   #14 leo.agu Total Posts : 20 Reward points : 54 Joined: 2/1/2013 Location: Bosco Mesola, FE, IT Status: offline MBI: 205 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: [Synchiropus picturatus] Tuesday, February 12, 2013 3:38 AM (permalink) Here is a pic:     #15 JoeDigiorgio Total Posts : 278 Reward points : 823 Joined: 2/6/2013 Location: Ft Lauderdale, FL, US Status: offline MBI: 145 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: [Synchiropus picturatus] Tuesday, February 12, 2013 10:25 AM (permalink) Is that an amphipod!?   #16 leo.agu Total Posts : 20 Reward points : 54 Joined: 2/1/2013 Location: Bosco Mesola, FE, IT Status: offline MBI: 205 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: [Synchiropus picturatus] Tuesday, February 12, 2013 11:46 AM (permalink) No, it's a copepod under microscope   #17 JoeDigiorgio Total Posts : 278 Reward points : 823 Joined: 2/6/2013 Location: Ft Lauderdale, FL, US Status: offline MBI: 145 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: [Synchiropus picturatus] Tuesday, February 12, 2013 3:08 PM (permalink) Lol I know, what a good shot you got of him.
