Mosquito Netting - cheap as chips, just cover the entire top of tank, and push mesh down into water about 3 - 4" deep.

They'll be feeding on 60-100micron zooplankton, which is bloody small
I bred redfin bullies, and couldn't bring any of the fry to adult hood due to lack of food.I tried using green water, which had all sorts in it, micro algae's, tiny zoo plankton but to no success. Commonly the fry will travel out to sea for a short period of time, feeding, before then returning back into the tributaries. However, Crans and Commans are known to reproduce, successfully in ponds, so do not necessarily need to feed on whatever it is they're feeding on at sea.
Try collecting pond water, culturing it in a larger container and placing eggs in that, probably your best bet!

Great for source of Protein and Fats as you noted, but not to be used regularly. Varied diet it always better!
Have you tryed meal worms?

Howdy
Tech class is going down for a taupo trip and will be picking afew up. Anyones welcome to some if they want, just give me a pm!

We had some in the MTI tanks, up in warkworth, however they don't hold that colour well and are more of a boring grey. hardy as ever tho!

They'll take the brine shrimp after about a week or more. Mine took abit longer, depending on the growth rates of the individual fish.
Best fed on boiled eggyolk, squeezed through a hanky. Try feeding a tiny abit of BBS as they get older untill you can see that they're eatting them (redbellies full of BBS) then go onto full BBS feed.

Green up some water in a bottle, transfer to a bucket, let that green up, then put that into the pond/container you have set up
We used tomato thrive, and 20/30litres(acouple of buckets) of green water to seed 1000Ls, was completly green in a week or two.
Got the initial algae sample from ponds locally, and picked out the greenist culture to seed the containers.
If you can use a heater, makes the whole process awhole lot faster!

Digging up an old post but......
Do you happen to have any Albinos for sale?
Have been after some for agesssssssss
-
i don't know about the TM ones but i decap my own and they hatch alright
no eggshells to deal with
Do you neutralise the Chlorine with Thios-phosphate?
-
When I was hatching bbs i set up a tank, set it to around 26-28oc, can't remember, and just floated bottles containing the egg+salt. Alot easier this way if trying to procude a constant supply of livefood.
-
Just a question : Whats with the no light on tank theme?
-
yep yep, I heard that when bristle noses and plecos alike, get those long stringy poos? Its slight constipation, and blanched (not cooked) zuccini will help them break down the vege and make it easier to process.
-
