The Multi-Banded Pipefish can make a fascinating addition to a well-maintained seahorse aquarium. They are slow and delicate swimmers, so choose tankmates that are compatible in terms of size, behavior, and feeding habits. Avoid keeping them with fin-nipping or aggressive species that may harass...

A lot of people ask what we feed our systems on a regular basis and aside from the typical mysis or pellet foods we feed a variety of Phytos and Rotifers. Since we haev such great reslults with them we figured why not start culturing them and offering them to our customers. We are happy to now...

Can brine shrimp eggs survive shipping in low temperatures? (As low as 8 F) I’d like to start a hatchery but no stores near me have eggs in stock.

I have recently become the proud mom of a 300 gallon brine shrimp culture, unfortunately the person who was previously in charge of handling our cultures is no longer working at our facility so I’m just kinda winging it ATM as far as trying to keep the culture healthy. There are thousands of...

Okay so this is a newbie question, but I haven’t been able to find ANY info about it online. How do you enrich your rotifers? I will be using Selcon. This question is specifically relating to feeding clownfish fry; the goal is to increase HUFAs in live food to (hopefully) better survival rates.

I have always been fascinated with live feedings for fish, they really get to display their natural hunting behavior, so I thought maybe try bristleworms? I am thinking of setting up a separate bristleworm breeding tank used to feed an arrow crab and a neon dottyback, just wanted to share and...

I have a spotted mandarin who has been happily eating frozen food for a while now, but I've always wanted her to have live food as well. I have a 32 gallon tank, which cannot sustain a pod population, so I starting trying to raise tigger pods. It has been tough, I did everything I was supposed...

I've started hatching brine shrimp and thinking of ways I could make a sustainable tank for them but have it be under my tank in the stand above the sump. Then I thought, what if I had it become part of the system. My sump came with an ATO tank that sits on top of the sump but I use an external...

There are a lot of truisms (some would say myths) - in this hobby. Note - the word myth - is not meant to suggest anything negative about any of these points. Just that they are 'common' things we read every day on the forums. In the poll there is a 'commonly expressed 'statement' and its...

I've been using nightcrawlers for about six months with excellent results. I figure they're mostly protein so I still feed a mixture of crushed New Life Spectrum and other dry foods inbetween worm feedings.

Thanks to captive breeding efforts, hobbyists can keep seahorses in aquariums much more easily these days. We have it so much easier than keepers 10 years ago, who had to struggle through "figuring things out", work with wild caught seahorses and learn mostly through mistakes. Today, we can...

I'm convinced it is possible and have started a series of experiments to find out that magical combination! So why would you want to do this? Well, Phytoplankton is the base food of the ocean.. it feeds your copepods.. which intern feeds your fish and coral.. Self-sustaining live food? yes...

I wanted to start a thread to discuss different types of live food, culturing info, pros and cons, and how to. I am interested in all aspects of live feeding, but I figured I would ask some questions to get this discussion started! Do you feed: Live phytoplankton Live zooplankton Live...
