Their food was S-type rotifers. Here is day 1 video hatched.     #10 specvjeff Total Posts : 12 Scores: 0 Reward points : 30 Joined: 1/7/2013 Location: San Diego, CA, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Priolepis nocturna spawning Monday, June 17, 2013 2:12 PM (permalink) 0 I got a reply from Matt Wittenrich today.  Gave me a tip on something to try feeding the larvae.     #11 KathyL Total Posts : 2639 Scores: 13 Reward points : 1504 Joined: 6/6/2010 Location: St. Louis, MO, US Status: offline MBI: 1605 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:Priolepis nocturna spawning Monday, June 17, 2013 7:29 PM (permalink) 0 what was that something?   check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #12 specvjeff Total Posts : 12 Scores: 0 Reward points : 30 Joined: 1/7/2013 Location: San Diego, CA, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Priolepis nocturna spawning Tuesday, June 18, 2013 12:43 AM (permalink) 0 Kathy, Sorry I didn't have Matt's message pulled up when I wrote my post.  He recommended trying Parvocalanus copepods nauplii with Tetraselmis algae.   #13 KathyL Total Posts : 2639 Scores: 13 Reward points : 1504 Joined: 6/6/2010 Location: St. Louis, MO, US Status: offline MBI: 1605 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:Priolepis nocturna spawning Tuesday, June 18, 2013 12:56 AM (permalink) 0 Cool, thanks! check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #14 specvjeff Total Posts : 12 Scores: 0 Reward points : 30 Joined: 1/7/2013 Location: San Diego, CA, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Priolepis nocturna spawning Tuesday, June 18, 2013 1:05 AM (permalink) 0 Originally Posted by KathyL Cool, thanks!   No problem Kathy.  While I'm new around these parts, I post a lot more on my local forum and, I am always willing to share information.   #15 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon
