I just got 3 new pods to culture! No, A tonsa though.... I still have a quest for them. But, something to play with while I search! Wish me luck?	Seahorse Whisperer Posts: 3,047 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: June 28, 2008

Ok, my daphne are alive but growing slowly. I am going to see if I can get a quicker growth rate using some experimentation. So, one of my new finds is the dinoflagellate Oxyrrhis marina. It is a brackish spp, that is no good to reefers except it feeds my new copepod oithona: Phylum Arthropoda Subphylum Crustacea Class Maxillopoda Subclass Copepoda Order Cyclopoida Family Oithonidae Genus Oithona species plumifera Sweet, huh! This pod is smaller than our cold water species T californiicus, is calanoid (stays in the water column) and can handle the warmer temps of our aquariums. Wish me luck!

sweet! If it's brackish, how do you feed it to the oithona?	stormy, stormy nights Posts: 2,362 Group: Admin Member #4 Joined: June 29, 2008

You know, that is just what I found on google scholar by but I added some to the pod culture and they were still there the next day. So, I am going to bump them up to 32 ppt.	Seahorse Whisperer Posts: 3,047 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: June 28, 2008

I am not sure. I will look under the microscope. The dinoflagelatte is taking off but the others, I don't know.	Seahorse Whisperer Posts: 3,047 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: June 28, 2008
