Hi everyone! Here's a question...would there be any benefit to coculturing larval marine fish/ornamental inverts with adult Apocyclops? While most marine larvae are not large enough to ingest an adult Apocyclops (which are 600-700 microns in size) at birth, my idea is that the detritivorous copepods would help process the larvae's waste (I was still going to feed them directly, though) and they would constantly produce 70 micron nauplii that would serve as a supplemental food source for the larvae. I would add some ClorAm-X daily (in addition to water changes) to keep ammonia under control. Thanks
