Rob,
I am sorry that someone seem to try to derail your breeding project. If there is anything I can do to help let me know. Rotifer culture crash, what ever....
You really don't need to raise phytoplankton, jut get the frozen stuff. Don't need to raise newly hatch brine shrimp either. Just straight from rotifer to Otohime A.
I got several pounds of bothe Otohime A and Otohime B. I think I will never finish the Otohime A since I only raise these fish for fun.
I am trying to get next inline fish food. Ground up flake works but too much work. I am thinking of order some Golden Pearls. If you want I let you know how this turn out.
