Zooplankton are small animals that feed on phytoplankton (microalgae) or other zooplankton — the first food in the marine food chain. Reed Mariculture is proud to offer live zooplankton as well as our Instant Zooplankton® product line for aquaculture applications.

Zooplankton are ideal for carnivores such as soft and stony coral, zoanthids, mushroom corals, anemones, shrimp and crabs. I am going to be turning the culture tank into a greenwater tank filled with infusoria to help feed the plankton and slowly add them into the maintank with a baster near the java moss cultures so they can begin to grow. Is this a viable plan? My filtratiion is already sponged to account for fish fry and ghost shrimp larva so I am hoping this.

Our products include ROTIFERS (Brachionus plicatilis and Brachionus rotundiformis), COPEPODS (Parvocalanus crassirostris, Tigriopus californicus and Apocyclops panamensis), and BRINE SHRIMP EGGS (Artemia).

Nová hra o rybkách – simulátor Feed and Grow

Vydaj sa na lov rýb a ďalších morských tvorov a staň sa väčšou rybou! Feed and Grow: Fish je zvierací simulátor o prežitie v úžasnom podmorskom svete. Začínaš ako Bibos alebo Raptor a hneď môžeš skočiť do fantastického sveta Feed and Grow.

Kedy vyjde plná hra? Hraj cez Steam!

Momentálne je hra dostupná cez Steam na Early Access. Bude zahŕňať multiplayer a to je aj hlavný dôvod pre Early Access. Chceme ju otestovať spolu s vami a spraviť ju ešte úžasnejšiu s novými hernými mechanikami, novými hrateľnými rybkami a morskými tvormi, schopnosťami a pasívkami. Beta verzia by mala výjsť v priebehu Vianoc 2015!

Ovládanie a základy hry

Veľmi jednoduché, plávaj po svete, hľadaj jedlo a zjedz ho. Možno ho však budeš musieť najprv zabiť.

• [Myš] - Otáčanie
• [W] - Dopredu
• [S] - Dozadu
• [Ľavý Shift] - Šprint
• [Ľavé tlačítko myši] [podrž / pusti] - Hrýzť
• [Pravé tlačítko myši] [podrž] - Jesť
• [Tabulátor] – Menu / Pauza

Pár nápomocných tipov

• Môžeš jesť aj malé krevetky – tip najmä pre malé začínajúce rybky.
• Aby si potravu zjedol, otvor ústa (podrž Pravé tlačítko myši) a preplávaj cez jedlo.
• Aby si zaútočil / hrýzol, otvor ústa (podrž Ľavé tlačítko myši) a zatvor ich (pusti tlačítko) pred niečím, čo sa dá zabiť. Ak sa zasekneš (ostaneš „zahryznutý v niečom“), hryzni ešte raz a koristi sa pustíš.
• Môžeš zabíjať všetky druhy rýb, okrem svojho (druh, za ktorý hráš).
