Mandarin dragonet spawning

Lifted from marine breeder forum: Following hatch, the best bet for attempting to rear these larvae is utilizing greenwater techniques including phytoplankton such as Nannochloropsus, Nannochloris, Tetraselmis or Isocrysis (T-Iso). Zooplanktons could include SS-Strain Rotifers and Copepod nauplii - copepod nauplii seem to be one of the better performing routes to take - these nauplii must be free swimming, so most folks are focusing on the Calanoid copepod species. Think can also try getting green water from ah beng or iwarna as well. Depending on where u stay. Lck201 may carry as well.

So cute. Survival rate of the larvae? Btw, good job!

Hatch rate is around 98%

Survival rate of larvae= unknown seems like all still doing well.

Think up to this stage is still easy to care for as no feeding is necessary.

Its the next 24hrs that crucial when feeding starts to kick in. coz i dun have the right feed to do it. checked with Junkai yesterday if wanna get the right strain of copepod to raise them have to import them from US and its will take more then a week and think its around 100plus. Also they do not have the smaller strain of rotifer right now.

Care to share the setup of the larvae tank?
