aviator300 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'm new to macroalgae and have been trying to locate Red Dragons Breath to no avail. Is it a bad time of year to find this? Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment
farkwar Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 ReefGoddess has some on her site. Link to comment
Sunstar Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I wish my LFS had such macro - the onyl stuff they have is caulpetra brachypus Link to comment
NanoFever Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 My LFS has a ton. I can check on the price and charge you what I pay + shipping if you want. PM me as I am going there today if your interested and can ship tomorrow. Link to comment
D Z Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Definitely not the time of the year. My LFS doesn't usually carry dragons breathe and they have had it the past 2 times I have gone. Link to comment
ndrobey Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 My LFS only has bryopsis. Link to comment
Dryland Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 My LFS only has bryopsis. lol that is hilarious Link to comment
glennr1978 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 My LFS only has bryopsis. Sweet! Can you pick some up for me? Link to comment
ndrobey Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Sure! How much do you want? Link to comment
TheElysia Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Sure! How much do you want? I feel stupid but why would people want Bryopsis? Isn't that like a superbad pest? Or is is also really good Aplysia and Elysia food? About the topic in general, I think that if macro was consistently aquacultured, there would be no "good" or "bad" season. I would say maybe wait until spring and the sunshine returns in full strength, and more wild macros are up for collecting (check the website http://www.live-plants.com),or snoop around local LFSs, because I've noticed that many have some nice macros that are just sitting around in the DTs.

TheElysia Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 The Bryopsis is a joke. Now I really feel stupid. Oh. Well then. Buuuuuut......I have heard that it actually does feed the lettuce nudibranchs and sea hares pretty well, so maybe it could actually be used for culturing those?

Sunstar Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 your reasoning is very fair. I could not find anything new when I went there yesterday. Just the C. brachypus. I used to have a vareity of clauptra, proliferus and a few red things. Link to comment

If it's wild collected, I could see the time of the year being a reason, but in my tanks grows well year round. I just sold a giant Tupperware container full of Dragon's Breath to my LFS.
