    **UPDATE** PSAS October Meeting

    Looking forward to the meeting tonight. I always learn a lot from Terry and I can't wait to hear about the baby clownfish. I just wanted to post that I was coming in case anyone wanted some pods. Club members get a special price, by the way. Thanks, Adelaide from Ocean Pods

    seahorse forum

    Hi - I have a recommendation for anyone looking for larger live feeds, live sand, macroalgae and small shrimp for seahorses. George at www.seawaterexpress.com based in Nevada has a great set-up, and he always puts in a little extra. I know he is growing seahorses, I am not sure if he will be...

    The best bought mandarin food

    Substrates for pods Hello - Just a few words about the pod piles, etc. Copepods will seek out inner spaces for breeding and growth. Having a lot of surface area that can't be reached by fish will help them find this type of habitat. Because the copepods are so small, they can utilize any...

    Mandarin larvae

    copepod and sieve Hi Jeff - Saw your post - wanted to comment that you will get mostly copepod naups at 53 microns, and ciliates and other infusoria at 23 microns. When you are ready to collect copepod copepodites and adults, move up to a 100 micron sieve. What kind of lighting are you using...

    Mandarin larvae

    Thoughts on pods Hi Jeff and Don - Those are good questions. If you want to limit pod reproduction, just don't feed them, or feed them very little. They will reach a population density that is comfortable for them. (I wish I had that problem!) 58 micron mesh will probably not capture the...

    Mandarin larvae

    Copepod advice Hi Jeff - I did get your email, but I thought I would answer in the general forum so others could see the response. First of all, I'm glad that you are trying to raise mandarins, because I believe that they can be domesticated to take inert feeds, if they are grown correctly, so...

    seahorse forum

    is it a pathogen or environmental? Hi Oscapus, Sorry to hear about the problems, and it seems that you are on the track to figuring out the cause. - sometimes the seahorses can get gas bubbles, which might cause them to expire that rapidly. Has anything changed in their environment lately...

    seahorse forum

    Hi - Not sure if I will actually raise seahorses myself, but I do want to hear about anyone's successes or failures with different feeds. I often get asked about various products besides the ones I sell, and I honestly don't know how well the seahorses take them. It seems that everyone has a...

    Let's Talk About ~Refugiums~

    UV and Pods? Hello - I'm not sure if all pods passing through a UV light will be done in. They actually have very good defenses to UV radiation because they end up in very exposed areas when their tide pools dry up. They have the stamina to crawl across what would be miles to a human being to...
