Locally Raised Live Zooplankton: Copepods And Rotifers

[EricTMah]

Hey David. What salinity are they bottled in?

[David Caplan]

They are bottled at ~1.19-1.22, depending on if I am asked for more phytoplankton in the bottle. The cultures are bred in ~1.22 salinity. I can also bottle them at the same salinity of your tank so they have some time to acclimatize before you add them. I gather my own cultures in 1.24-1.25 (my tank's salinity) with no phyto and allow them to acclimate for a very short period of time before adding them, but I can't say for certain how big of a difference that makes to them seeding.

Thanks for the info.

Just wanted to know for a reference so I know roughly how long to drip them for.

Thanks

I am definite for travel from David Captan to Windsor area May 27
2 forum members booked for my "pod run" but room for more

Important note: I will pick up the pods from David on the evening of May 26 so that I can get out of Toronto early morning on May 27 so please place your order to him May 26 latest

Contact the seller (David) and I am happy to deliver to SW Ontario during the day on May 27
Meet up in Windsor after 5 pm as I am overnight there
Returning to GTA on May 28

Really great product and we should all be very happy that David is culturing these creatures locally rather than sourcing from the U.S. !

Last call for the Windsor/SW Ontario run. If you'd like a bottle make sure to contact me. If you aren't sure if SamB is stopping near you, send me or him a PM.

Thanks!

Great to see you have a good following... can I pick up a 16 oz and meet you at MAST next meeting ?

Looks like I might need some of this to feed the little clowns that keep appearing in the tank. When might next order be coming west?

No problem! Send me a PM to confirm the week of the meeting, a few of the members have asked for me to bring bottles.
