Re: [Killietalk] Killietalk Digest, Vol 52, mini-cyst brine shrimps questions

Larry,
This topic came up not too long ago.  Ken Combs kindly sent a small
sample for me to try out, and I found the nauplii to be smaller than
San Francisco strain.  Small fry of N. rachovii were able to eat them
from day 1.  Hatch rate was less than my normal eggs, but not
horrible.
