You can the bacteria?? hm I never seen that. We put in frozen pacific krill in a little cup. Put the cup into a case ) similar to tupperware. So that it is closed and can be defreeze slowly.kuza wrote:[...]and I'd have to leave for 7-8 hours, and by the time I get home they have bacteria on them from the food breaking down around them. How did you girls fix that? just come back in another 30 mins and try to remove it again? [...].
In the morning an in the evening we take a some and put the in to a sieve (Artemia sieve). And then I rinse the krill with water. After that we put in some bigger and full ones. Depends on how many megalopa there are.
(At the moment I have round about 32 megalopa and we give them 10 and more pieces of krill plus Dennerle Crusta Gran marine)
We take out the old krill and put in new krill in the evening. After work. So the krill stays in the water for ~10 hours.
The keep the water clean, we change 50% of the water and we clean up the floor (both daily) - like in the kreisel. The transition pool contains 5 liters.
ah do not thing this way. As I told you it is not that easy. It is not only feeding, changing water! It is not only feeding some Artemia and krill . I am doing my 8th try. And I do not know of I did it good or bad. So often when it looked good, it failed at the end. In some cases it failed after 2 weeks.
They are all cannibalistic at megalopa stage! And even if there is enough food (krill mysis or gammarus) it happens that they eat each other. Only thing that will help is seperating them one by one.
