roti reef

[SNAKEMANVET]

I just got my rotifers in on Monday and waited 3 days to change the water and harvest some rotifers.I have checked to see how many rotifers there is in 5ml of water,at the most I see 4 or 5 rotifers.When I dosed the roti reef food ,which I started from day on adding about 15 drops for a 4 gallons of water.When I dose the roti reef water turns green as normal,but after 30 minutes water is almost clear.I am lost to whats going on.The roti reef has been doing this from day one. Thanks

What would be the best type of rotifer to use.

It sounds to me like they are starving. I just started my first culture over the weekend so I am no expert. But it sounds like you need to feed them more. If the green disappears from what I understand it means the rotifers have eaten all the food and want more. I would add more feed until the water stays green if I were you.
