That's one way I thought you could raise the larvae. Do you know if anyone has tried it?
Yes, if you go into the google forum, there is an old thread of folks who tried. I message them but none succeeded.

				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.

				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.
