rrcg50 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I read a article a year or so ago and was wondering if anyone has tried this. I might give it a whirl either with my babies or with the parents. Link to comment
Pickle010 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I'd be interested in trying it out as well. http://glassbox-design.com/2010/study-find...nile-clownfish/ This article says they introduced the strain from day 1 post hatch. So I'm assuming through the rotifers and their feed? Link to comment
rrcg50 Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 yep its a strain of lactobacillus i believe. they add it to the rotifers 15 minutes before feeding the babies and to the tank from what i read Link to comment
Pickle010 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Have you found a place to get it? I've seen some tank treatments that claim to be probiotic - this seemed much more specific. Link to comment
rrcg50 Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 this is where being a pharmacist comes in handy. i have it on order but wanna see how it turns out before i go any further. dont wanna kill anyone elses clowns. i have a hatch coming tonight of my onyx so i will give it a whirl on them Link to comment
tam Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Haha, awesome! Can't wait to see the results! Link to comment
FLNanoReefer Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Does it help to add supplements (Selcon, Garlic Extreme, Vitamin C, Vita Chem) to the food of the Broodstock? Link to comment
rrcg50 Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 i dont but my fish get fed like a fat kid in a italian family Link to comment
Eileen Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 rrcg - looking forward to following your progress! Link to comment
FLNanoReefer Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 i dont but my fish get fed like a fat kid in a italian family Ok. Would using those supplements have any negative effects on the fish's breeding abilities? Link to comment
rrcg50 Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 no. from my understanding it will help them because if the food is deficient they will replace them. the only thing that scares me using those products is the all form a oil like slick on the water. i dont like that at all Link to comment
US Marine Coral Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Can you post a link to where you bought the Probiotics, I would like to try it also. Link to comment

ericm1205 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 i got a bottle of acidophilus from natures bounty. i could grind up the wafers and feed them to the fish. i take this stuff every day for my tummy. it has 2 strains. lactobacillus acidophilus and lactobacillus bifidus. its strawberry flavor, thing the clowns like strawberry? hehe Link to comment
rrcg50 Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 thats not the strain that you should use. Link to comment
rrcg50 Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 okay heres what my research has revealed so far. fish. doing great with silver stomachs like ive never seen before. i mean for a days worth of trail the results are impressive. i dont want to jump the gun here so thats why i was holding back. i am okay with endangering my babies with trials but dont want to hurt anyones elses product lactobacillus rhamnosus comercial product that contains this culturelle have to make sure its the one without anything else strength 10 billion bacterial cells process 1 quart jar of rotifers+ 1 emptied capsule 15 minutes prior to feeding the rots to fish. pour whole concoction into baby water. so far t looks like everything is going real good.

Eileen Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 So that quart of rotifers...is that new saltwater that you strained the rots into? Or did you remove it from the fry tank? Link to comment
rrcg50 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 So that quart of rotifers...is that new saltwater that you strained the rots into? Or did you remove it from the fry tank? I used new salt water, dropped the salinity and added strained rots. Let tumble with air for a while and feed. Quick look this morning and everything looked good so far Link to comment
