I did not mean for any of that to sound disrespectful in anyway.
I bred for years, I never had any trouble with any of my clutches going straight to TDO, but I think more breeders are using copepods in place of the brine shrimp. Everyone's experience is different I suppose, so if it works, keep doing it.
Yeah I think most people migrated over to MBI, there's still some posts on MOFIB, but I don't think it's as active as it used to be.
I used L and S for simplicity. Not everyone knows that Latin names, or would know the difference. We do sell rotifers with the Latin names attached as well as S type and L type just for ease of identification for novice breeders. We also carry TDO from powder up to large pellets to keep up with the growth of the animal. I say we because I work with APBreed/Reef Nutrition at the shows.
This is a shot of one of my clutches, no doctoring or photoshopping the pic. At this point they were about 5 months old, on TDO and frozen foods. Can you tell which one stopped eating the TDO and was only eating frozen?
