i dunno if thats good or not, but from what I've read you need to raise brine shrimp. It has to be live I believe.

I woud not even mess with this hatch. There will be plenty more. Use this batch to study the gestation period, spawning frequency, etc. Spend the time getting your rotifer cultures going (you will need live cultures to be successful), and get Joyce Wilkersons clownfishes book.

The point I was trying to make is to get the rotifer cultures going ASAP otherwise you wont have much success.
Did you order live rotifers so you could start a culture, or did you order rotifeast?
Dont use a filter at all until 20ish days.
good luck

LIVE ROTIFERS coral copepods fry food w/ Phyto rotifer,,getting 3 bottles,,can i start a culture with this?

Is that one product, or 3 separate products that should be separated by comma's? If 3 separate, yes you can start a culture from the live rotifers, but you will need phytoplankton to feed them (rotifer diet)
If it is all one product, I am not familiar with that product. But, if the rotifers are truly alive, and if you can separate them, you should be able to get a culture, but it would be a whole lot easier to start a culture from just a live culture of rotifers... Especially with you very first culture. Now you will likely have too many variables to throw you off track
