wasp Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 They have a frozen product at Hollywood called Cyclops, which I understand to be the same thing. They are fresh water pods. Supposed to be rich in some stuff fish need, my fish love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 You will need more the cyclopsezee to rare (rear? reer?) the young. I have some that a friend brought back from Eurpoe. Mail order may be your best option. Its good for coral, but so small my fish just ignore it (maybee 1/8 mm little orange bits). Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Oh, well if that's the case, better ignore my previous post saying cyclops is the same. The cyclops are quite a bit bigger than what Pies describes, probably about a mm. The fish find them quite small, but just big enough to track down and eat.

reef Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Brian, you will need rotifers to feed the baby clowns for 1-2 weeks after they hatch, also to feed the rotifers you will need an algae culture. cyclopeeze is too big.

Brianemone Posted December 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 where do i get my hands on a culture of algae?? rotifers i can get from the bio supplies correct?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suphew Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Not often you see some one asking how to grow Algae!! Do the opposite to every thing you normally do to get rid of algae, I kept daphnia (sp) for a while, put the tank in the sun, dumped the contents of my filters into the tank, no water changes. Nice thick green soup. Dont know if this helps..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted December 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 whats the bet i cant grow it when i try has anyone found a source of rotifers or tried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suphew Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Have you tried Biosupply in Auckland? I'm not sure what the correct name or address is, but I have had live food sent from them and they are pretty cheap. To get their address go to your LPS and look at the frozen food (like discus tucker) they supply most of it in NZ. PM me if you cant find the address I have some food of theirs at home with a contact phone number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianemone Posted December 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 thats a good read, i think brine shrimp pumped up on a phytoplakton culture is the way to go now to get some green water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
