Hi All,
I am new to clownfish breeding and have recently taken my first couple attempts with raising clown larvae. It has not been successful yet, well not completely unsuccessful, I have gotten the larvae further along each attempt. Right now they are clarkii larvae, should have ocellaris larvae to try soon.
Anyhow, I have been using the co-culture method, adding enriched rotifers and keeping the larvae tank with greenwater (fresh nanno). With using this method how often and how much (volume) should water changes be? I know wilkerson describes siphoning the tank bottom every night for 20% water change after day 2. With the co culture method do you do the same? How do you miss the larvae since it is hard to see them with the greenwater?
Any advice/suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott
