Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase some live rotifers in Michigan? My culture has crashed.

Well…I have two baby clownfish at 21 days and another tank with about 75 at day 11. I am trying to get the older babies to eat some crushed flake food, but they really just hang out at the bottom of the tank and are not swimming much. Is this normal behavior?

Thank you! I am down to three and they are just hanging around the sides of the tank.

Can anyone tell me how much RG complete to dose the baby tank with?

Today I have lost all but four baby clownfish at the end of day one. I noticed the majority of them died between the time I fed them this morning 5 am and 9 am. After filtering the rotifers, I added them and then dosed the tank with about 10 mL of RG complete. The fish were in 5 gallons of...

Thank you for your help Bang Guy! I think that I will make three changes next time around. I will use white paper towel to cover the light, dose the baby tank with RG Complete and make sure the rotifers are abundant and well fed. I know I should only change one variable, but wish me luck...

I got that from notes that were passed on from Joyce Wilkerson. It makes it easier to vacuum the debris from the bottom of the tank because it is more visible. I have a 3 watt LED light suspended about 10 inches above the tank. I put a towel directly over half of the tank to diffuse the...

My rotifers were kept in a 5 gallon bucket and fed 11 mL of RG complete split up into roughly 5-6 mL in the morning and the same in the evening.

I kept the light on 24 hours. I had 5 gallons of water in the tank and filtered out 3 solo cups of rotifers two time per day and added after each water change. The water looked pretty dense with the rotifers. I then added a few mL of RG complete to the tank to tint the water to a light green...

I lost my first batch of clownfish after day three. I had heater set at 81 degrees. A small LCD light was shining on a towel which covered half of the tank. The 10 gallon tank was half filled with water from my reef tank. I fed them rotifers which I filtered and then added RG complete to the...
