[Alexandre]

Hello! Is it possible to raise tangerine pods with Algamac 3050?
Thank´s in advance!

I don´t know,but have you heard about any organism been raised on Algamac exclusively?

[Alexandre]

Rotifers. A friend of mine used to feed his cultures with algamac only.
Maybe, something to try.
Thank's for helping!

For some reason it is used for boosting the DHA of rots and bs,a process called "enriching" and not to culture them with it.Though I don´t see why it culdn´t be done,it is worth being tried.
But calanoid copepods,which don´t need that much this supplementation are much more difficult to culture on something else than living algae.See here some projects of raising them with algae pastes.
I once tried to culture Euplotes with Algamac and it didn´t work.

I see! And I guess live Nano wouldn't work for calanoids either, isn't it? Including tangerines?

Thank's once more!

That is the official "truth".Nevertheless,I have seen cultures of NAN populated by copepods.

[Alexandre]

Really? With calanoids?
What about Euplotes? What are they used for?
Thank's!

[Luis A M]

Not sure,have to check.

Very interesting : raising purple firefish larvae with Euplotes!!! Do you know any other successful breeding attempt?
Have you ever raised any marine fish larvae with Euplotes?

Thank's once more!

Great topic! I remember that!
After reading again, I'm looking for O. marina once more.
Thank's !!!
