Re: [Killietalk] Acriflavine - how much? what concentration?

[Gerald Rosenbeck <grosenbeck at hotmail_com>]

  When making up a premixed supply you will need to remember that in the presents of oxygen methyl blue has a halh life of about 8 hours. I haven't had that experence or seen any data indicating that acriflavine has that "problem".

Instead I use toothpicks, dip one into the bottle of acriflavine and then into the hatching water and the other toothpick into the methyl blue and into the hatching water. The hatching water is about 8 ounces. Using toothpicks allows me to adjust the blue green color with greater precision but use about 50/50 of each. I want the water color light enough to see the eggs developing. The reason I don't pre-mix a gallon of solution is because I raise mainly nothos and SAA's, and not enough Aphys to justify a big pre-mix, otherwise I would. For me the mix works better than each indivdually.> > Joe Bulterman> International School of Choueifat> PO Box 2077> University City Road, Industrial No. 6> Nr.
