Whats the forumla to make water green artifically ?
Can you grow Artiema to adulthood and then feed to the babies. I read something about a dangerous bacteria. But as the fry get larger, the number of Artiema they need grows and grows.
How many tablespoons of eggs a day of Artiema are you hatching out to feed how many fry ? I am hatching out 3 tablespoons a day. I check the pond at about 2 hour intervals. If I dont see any more Artiema swimming, I increase the amount that I hatch out with the next cycle.
I am putting the salt right in the water with the Artiema as they are so small my brine shrimp net wont catch them. Since koi can handle up to .03 this shouldnt be a problem, or will it ? The salt level should not reach that level until they are ready to be moved.
Also, any ideas on how to culture those fresh-water shrimps called skuds (Hyalella azteca) ?

Once my baby koi are large enough, I will be moving them to my 2,000gallon lower pond (which is connected to my main pond) so filtration and circulation will not be a problem.
