The little guy died the other day. Bleh. Back to the beginning...but I should be home every day (no out of town trips) for the next run.   #44 shannpeach Total Posts : 955 Reward points : 676 Joined: 5/30/2012 Location: Milwaukee, WI, US Status: offline MBI: 2655 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Diademichthys lineatus (Yellowstripe clingfish) Monday, March 3, 2014 8:52 PM (permalink) I'm 8 days in to a new run, and this afternoon I had 10-15 left.  I've been using RG complete this run which makes me feel like I'm cheating (I know it isn't, but...).  I think it helps a lot because they get a nice balanced enrichment of the rotifers instead of having me switch between whatever phyto I have handy at the moment.  They were started on rotifers as usual and I have started added only Apocyclops back in after the first couple days.  They have had two "doses" of newly hatched bbs and I saw some orange in the guts, but I want to use nhbbs very sparingly.  I have added in quite a few Tigriopus as well and I'm hoping that will work well as a substitute for the nhbbs.  They've been getting full light during the day, and a dimmer nightlight at night, but are never completely in the dark.   #45 mPedersen Total Posts : 3450 Reward points : 1376 Joined: 2/27/2009 Location: Duluth, MN, US Status: offline MBI: 4975 Pnts MBI Site: Lake Superior Marine Aquarium Club Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Diademichthys lineatus (Yellowstripe clingfish) Tuesday, March 4, 2014 12:47 AM (permalink) So HOW are you using RG Complete?  As an enrichment and rotifer grow, or are you also using it as greenwater?   #46 shannpeach Total Posts : 955 Reward points : 676 Joined: 5/30/2012 Location: Milwaukee, WI, US Status: offline MBI: 2655 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Diademichthys lineatus (Yellowstripe clingfish) Tuesday, March 4, 2014 8:43 AM (permalink) I am using it mainly as greenwater.  I am using Roti-rich (FAF) and live nanno for growing rotifers. For now...    #47 shannpeach Total Posts : 955 Reward points : 676 Joined: 5/30/2012 Location: Milwaukee, WI, US Status: offline MBI: 2655 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Diademichthys lineatus (Yellowstripe clingfish) Friday, April 11, 2014 9:03 AM (permalink) I had a run that lasted about 14 days when the last one died off.  Story of my life with these larvae.   I had a nice size hatch this morning of about 50-55 larvae that were put into the fish bowl (one gallon).  I didn't sterilize the fish bowl, I just wiped it down with a paper towel and rinsed it out.  I started them on L rotifers and RG complete.  I hope to do a large water change about a week in (to remove most of the rotifers) and then try to only feed copepods after that. I may even move them in a seeded tank with just copepods  Maybe then I can avoid bbs entirely.     #48 shannpeach Total Posts : 955 Reward points : 676 Joined: 5/30/2012 Location: Milwaukee, WI, US Status: offline MBI: 2655 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Diademichthys lineatus (Yellowstripe clingfish) Friday, April 18, 2014 9:39 PM (permalink) Today is day 8 for this most recent run. I have 25 left. Today I did a 90%+ water change to remove most of the rotifers. Then I gave them Tigriopus, Arctodiaptomus salinus, Euterpina and Apocyclops. I also gave them a small amount of rotifers so they have something to keep them going until they get the hang of eating the copepods.   #49 shannpeach Total Posts : 955 Reward points : 676 Joined: 5/30/2012 Location: Milwaukee, WI, US Status: offline MBI: 2655 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Diademichthys lineatus (Yellowstripe clingfish) Friday, April 18, 2014 9:43 PM (permalink) And they are still being lit 24/7   #50 mPedersen Total Posts : 3450 Reward points : 1376 Joined: 2/27/2009 Location: Duluth, MN, US Status: offline MBI: 4975 Pnts MBI Site: Lake Superior Marine Aquarium Club Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Diademichthys lineatus (Yellowstripe clingfish) Saturday, April 19, 2014 4:04 AM (permalink) OK, so...hmm.  You should talk to Gresh about using RG Complete as greenwater.  I and others early on found we had trouble with using RotiGrow Plus as greenwater, and since RG Complete is, to my understanding, based on RG+, I wonder if you could face similar problems in your larval rearing. Maybe, maybe not.  Could also depend on how MUCH you use. Forgive me, but I don't recall...have you tried offering TDO as a 2nd food after Rotifers at all?    #51 shannpeach Total Posts : 955 Reward points : 676 Joined: 5/30/2012 Location: Milwaukee, WI, US Status: offline MBI: 2655 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Diademichthys lineatus (Yellowstripe clingfish) Saturday, April 19, 2014 7:41 AM (permalink) I actually seem to be having better survival of the larvae up to this point using the RG complete (over using whatever live phyto I have handy). It's possible that it's causing a new set of problems, but it IS working better than what I was doing before. I think. Or maybe I'm just getting better at getting more of them this far before I kill them...ha! I haven't tried TDO yet, mainly because I don't have any :/ I have tried other assorted dried foods that I crushed and there hasn't been any interest that I could see. It's worth continuing to try though. I may ask around my local club and see if anyone has any I could try. I'm afraid to go look in the fish bowl this morning...they could all be dead!   #52 shannpeach Total Posts : 955 Reward points : 676 Joined: 5/30/2012 Location: Milwaukee, WI, US Status: offline MBI: 2655 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Diademichthys lineatus (Yellowstripe clingfish) Saturday, April 19, 2014 1:59 PM (permalink) I just saw one take down a nearly full grown Tangerine pod, so perhaps I will be able to get away with skipping bbs   #53 mPedersen Total Posts : 3450 Reward points : 1376 Joined: 2/27/2009 Location: Duluth, MN, US Status: offline MBI: 4975 Pnts MBI Site: Lake Superior Marine Aquarium Club Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Diademichthys lineatus (Yellowstripe clingfish) Sunday, April 20, 2014 11:08 PM (permalink) Woot and holla!  Get a little school going and get the best darn pictures you can (CORAL wants to know... )     #54 shannpeach Total Posts : 955 Reward points : 676 Joined: 5/30/2012 Location: Milwaukee, WI, US Status: offline MBI: 2655 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Diademichthys lineatus (Yellowstripe clingfish) Monday, April 21, 2014 9:37 AM (permalink) Grumble grumble....They were all dead this morning.  No clue what happened.  I will wait for the next large hatch now.   #55 shannpeach Total Posts : 955 Reward points : 676 Joined: 5/30/2012 Location: Milwaukee, WI, US Status: offline MBI: 2655 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re: Breeding Journal, Species: Diademichthys lineatus (Yellowstripe clingfish) Thursday, May 1, 2014 9:15 AM (permalink) Hatch last night, perhaps 30 or so.  I put them in the 3-4 gallon orb with about 2 gallons of water.  Started them on rotifers and added a small amount of RG complete and live Iso.   #56 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon Change Page: < 123 | Showing page 3 of 3, messages 41 to 56 of 56 - powered by ASPPlayground.NET Forum Trial Version
