Readings and Gleanings from the Journals

I've read many of the started Journals in both breeding forums. I see a number of times breeding begins shortly after getting new fish/inverts (some inverts-shrimp-are purchased already egg-heavy). Those batches that don't survive for long, the first ones, could it be an issue of inexperienced/young parent stock? And also there seems to be a high number of die-offs in the first few days after hatching, for the early attempts. Most report sufficient food items are available, usually rots or pods. Any thoughts about some newly hatched fish needing phyto before zooplankton? Or is just a matter of poor/young parents and/or small size at hatching for the first couple of breeding attempts? Chuck
