I've searched and searched and can't seem to find a definitive answer: Is dosing live Nannochloropsis phytoplankton a good food source to keep up populations of pods that Mandarins like to eat? (like Tisbe, Apex etc) Or should I switch to culturing something a different phyto species? I don't currently culture pods, and don't really want to, I'd rather try to keep them reproducing in the display tank/fuge if possible.
other details:
I've got a 10 year old 90g tank with lots of live rock and a 5g bucket fuge with chaeto. I have pods and have added more tisbe pods in the last 6 months. I culture my own Nannochloropsis to dose the tank (about an ounce per day). The main objective is to feed my new young mandarin.
Any thoughts? Thank you!
