As of today I have added 15 more Dwarf horses to my breeding stock!!!
Now for the bad/good news, My live brine shrimp and copepod cultures just tanked (no pun intended
) and Ive had to start anew, Unfortunately, dwarfs have to eat daily or they can starve very fast, so in a panic I stuck some frozen brine in the tank. Amazingly enough a few of my males snapped up the dead brine! (which they are said to refuse) SO hopefully I can add a few dead brine every day hoping that they will catch on!
My biggest concern here is my live food cultures, so I started anew, I have 2 10gal tanks with corner filters for the copepods and brine, the copepods tank is full of macroalgae and plants with a sandy bottom, the brine tank is bare, so my question here is how could I improve on these culture tanks and how would I culture mysid shrimp as well? (Mysids are said to be cannibalistic so I've left them alone) I feed the brine and copepods spirulina powder and try to keep the water changed. Ideas?
