My eggs hatch normally, and I start feeding with the brine shrimp that I raise myself. I rinse them well before feeding twice daily. 2x daily water change and bubblers in the tubs. After about 2 weeks on brine shrimp (when they are a bit bigger) I start daphnia. They continue to grow for the 1st week or so and then 5-6 dead, so I panic and start adding brine shrimp again. Within a week or 2, they are all dead. It's frustrating and heartbreaking. I have managed to raise 3 to adulthood. I am determined to make this work. I worry that to start them on Daphnia right from the beginning they won't eat them due to size of the larvae/daphnia ratio. Am I wrong? I have researched and read everything I can. Any help is appreciated.
