Hi All,
Well this must be my 100th post this week in this section - can you tell I am new to raising larvae??? :blush:
So on trying daphnia and not being overly impressed due to them fouling the water a lot and being a pain with all the different sizes I decided to try brine shrimp as had heard these were better for the larvae and came in one size lol!
Now I have not been so brave as to culture my own but have been cheating by buying them off ebay! They have been a hit to say the least but again being new to this thought they would live in the water with the larvae until I realised they would not as came in salt water doh!!! (dont panic they were all thoroughly washed through 4 times before being added)
SO BIG QUESTION after the axies have a full orange belly you are then left with a load of dead brine shrimp fouling your water so how i the easiest way to clear this up? Am i being thick as the only way I have come up with is to move all 25 axie into a new tub which is by no means easy and guessing stressful for my babies.
IDEAS WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED
