| Methodologies |
| Feeding Tactics/Medium: |
Rotifers are feed with Reeds Rotifer Diet at a level where by the bottom of the container cannot be seen.
This is in the order of 100ml - 200ml of diluted Rotifer Diet per 2 days. One part rotifer diet is diluted with 10 parts aged artificial salt water.
|
| Split Cycle: |
Once the density of Rotifers peaks (or two weeks), the culture is moved to a new set of buckets. Or a new single bucket and 50% are frozen depending on demand.
Both buckets are filled to 15L mark with new aged artificial salt water and provided with Rotifer Diet to colour water deep green. The Rotifers from the old bucket are filtered through a series of screens and the contents remaining on the 53um screen are back washed into the two new buckets. |
| Split Yield: |
highly variable between buckets.
So far I have frozen about 3 full ice cubes of rotifers. |
