Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately my access to Allan Brown was only for an hour or so at the meeting last weekend.

I currently dont have rotifers – at least not a pure rotifer only culture. I am sure that water/debris from a mature healthy sponge filter will provide many “rotifer like” organisms, at least I hope so.

I do have a tin (actually 4, 500g tins) of the very small California type BBS eggs but have not yet opened the 1st one as I am just finishing my last tin of previous bigger BBS eggs. I may open it and hatch some in about a weeks time when the fry should be able to eat this.

Vinegar eels is a live food that I do have a culture of, but have never fed it to my fish as I have yet to come across a god method for harvesting them – any tips?

Regards

Paul
