• How to raise a fry

  • Tami

Dear aquarists, urgent advice from wise "servants" is needed. First, about the problem. We inherited, so to speak, freshwater shrimp. It would seem there are no problems. But the trouble is that they do not give birth to full-fledged individuals, but shed eggs in the larval stage, and those, traveling through the water, end up in the sea (ocean), where they continue to develop. I have solved part of the problem - a separator, water, temperature. One remains, on which "freshwater" have long since broken their foreheads. Feeding! Tell me, what is considered marine phytoplankton and zooplankton by marine aquarists. Maybe someone else is also facing a similar problem. Where can I get, buy phyto and zooplankton. I am grateful to everyone in advance. Give an answer as soon as

If it's chlorella, then at any university in the "near-biological" department.

bwa, thank you for the information. I've already flipped through so much that I've forgotten where and what I read. For those who will still read my topic! Please tell me - how should one feel about brewer's yeast? After all, it's a fungus. Will it harm shrimp larvae?

I don't know about brewing, but in baking, I raised Artemia; I keep my brackish water rotifer on them. However, in baking, and I think also in brewing, there are none of the necessary substances that are found in marine unicellular algae. Specifically, omega-polyunsaturated fatty acids. This is actually the whole fuss about marine algae.
