accidentally breeding yellow tail damsels. . .

Over the last couple nights I have been staying up late trying to catch the hatching. . . It took until about 1:30 this morning, but it finally happened. I had a very successful harvest, thanks mostly to me realizing my Reef Diaper was great at catching larvae.

Here are some pictures of the "nursery", the water in the larvae tank is a bit cloudy cause I just fed. . . the "tanks" on the right are my roti cultures:

If Rotifers don’t work I would try the Apocyclops. The adults will be too big but the nauplii should be the right size. If none of these work you made need to use Parvocalanus copepod nauplii.

Thanks for the info!!! I am sort of banking on the roti at the moment cause I don't have room for more cultures hahaha but if this doesn't work out I may try your suggestions (or if I have more room). I do plan to hatch LBB once they are a bit bigger. . . not sure what day after hatch that should be???

Try mbisite. There are multiple threads on there about Chrysiptera.

It’s too bad the old MOFIB site is gone, as I think Luis from Brazil was able to get these to settlement on “S” strain rotifers.

The paper I linked started feeding BBS on day 19 post hatch.
