exactly , it should be set up PRIOR to the hatch, you dont have food so they are as good as gone, a miracle could happen and you get lucky on one surviving , but they need food....which you dont have

Realistically it runs most people around ... $200-400 or so, if you only want to raise a few it can be done relatively cheap.

Not particular hard as a hobbyist, but not easy if you wanted to do it on a commercial level

I would say you should probably not even attempt this until you can have a proper set up and rotifers before starting. From what I've read, you need a fairly stable system to hatch rotifers and alot of them ready once the eggs hatch. Then you need live brine and this is done separate from the tank the eggs are kept in. This should have been ready before they started to hatch as they need to eat almost constantly.
