Yes, if you go into the google forum, there is an old thread of folks who tried. I message them but none succeeded.

The last larvae from last week just died. The berried alpha in the picture layed her larvae today. Trying out feeding live phytoplankton sold in a bottle

Bad news...most of the larvae are dead. I think I put too much of the phytoplankton into the tank and The bottled phytoplankton might have contained some dead plankton which fouled the water. :upset:

When you get the time will you make a list with what you have tried and how long the larvae survived for? It would be great for future study work.

What about feeding newly hatched brine shrimp?
