Just curious what reefkeepers would do if they had the following supply of live;
1: Rotifers
2: Nannochloropsis or W3
3: Brine shrimpies, hatched daily (Artemia, or 'armetia' for retards.....)
4: Mysid
a) What can you feed coral and how/why would you?
b) Is it better to enrich and then freeze, to feed as a powder? (exclude mysids)
c) Is it effective to be extremely scientific and follow the complicated procedure described as 'just gooi'? hoping they feed something regardless of photoperiod or flow configuration? This works for mysid and paly's actually.....
d) Would they propagate over the long term in a refugium if again, the 'gooi in' technique is used? supplementing the 'nightly plankton dance'?
e) Of course you would start a culture for yourself, but why? and how? (exclude mysids again and making money)
One conclusion already reached is; adult brine shrimp are crap nutrition wise, but perform witchcraft regarding provoking feeding responses from fish, inverts and coral when frozen and then fed. Dunno why......
And yes, everyone wants to raise clownfish.....but what would you do with 100s of captive raised clownfish? make a public exhibit?............
