I'd like to get in on any of these I can put into my refugium. Am I too late? If it helps too, I'll take the responsibility to make sure Suzie doesn't get stuck paying for more than she should...share the burden so to speak...
Dave 435.602.0933...please call me if I can get into the order.

Thanks, dave. We'll chock you up for a pod order....
Too bad we don't have an number divisible by 3 for pods! Sure, would
make it easier to split!
You are talking pods, right?

Bob, Amie, Suzy, I am going to try and keep sub-cultures going on the species i get. They are basically very small cultures (ie in test tubes) in which isolation methods are used to keep the cultures pure (ie agar plating, dilution, and microscopic pipetting). If you three want to give me like 20mls of the 250ml starters when they get here, i'll keep some sub-cultures going on all 6 species and you can get fresh starter cultures on any one of them when you need it.

I was hoping we could all split them! We have to buy 3, so I was also
hoping to multiples of threee buyers, so it would be easier to figure out!

Suzy, you mentioned that 2 different nannos were available.
Is one of them Nannochloropsis Oculata? (vs. Nannochloris) Here's what Joyce Wilkerson says about Nannochloropsis oculata "it is high in both B12 and the unsaturated fatty acid EPA needed for larval and juvenile marine fishes. This is a dark green alga with a thick, tough cell walls that protects it from possible damage by overstirring during the microculturing procedure. This alga can be digested by rotifers, but its food value for most other animals is low because the cell wall prevents them from digesting it thoroughly. "
She says the following about tetraselmis, "it is nutritionally inferior to nannochloropsis oculata as far as fatty-acid content is concerned. This large-celled alga may also prove useful as a direct food in culturing organisms that are too small to accept rotifers.

Amie, what I've found in my research is that Nanno ( sorry, can't tell you
the exact species) is high in EPA, but very low in DHA. Fry need both to
survive, so by using nanno with another higher in DHA, we get them both!
I can't argue with the goddess of Clownfishes, though! I have seen so
many different charts with different nutrition levels that I don't know what
to think anymore!
Do you want to try the Nannochloropsis Oculata?

We need one more pods person!
What if the algae growers just do a bit of sharing? What if i order the
coolest ones, we share the cost? Then, if one peters out, we can always
try another?
Here's what I'm thinking:
Nanno ( the one Wilkerson recommends)
Rhodomonas
Isochrysis
Chaetocerous
Thal weisflogii or thal pseudonanna
Would I be being pushy if I suggested a Pavlova?
Pod people share the cost of pods?
Algae people split the cost of algae? Me & Banana pay double 'cause we
want 2?
What do you think?

Suzy,
I feel like you're doing all of us a favor. Make it easy on yourself. I'll pay my fair share and help with using any of the cultures others want to share.

Make sure to get the T-iso (Isochrysis galbana. Tahitian strain). That strain is higher in DHA. Pavlova would be nice to try too :)
Phyto people, I have everything we need to keep pure subcultures going. So when your culture dies out, i can give you a fresh starter culture of any of the species we order. All I need is about 20mls from each of the cultures when they get here. How does that sound to everyone?
