Growing Up Fry

[matt_Frontosa]

Hi all the Best way to raise up Fry is to give them a good feed of baby brineshrimp when they are just under 1cm than give them a good feed of crushed pellets or baby Granules for them this should help them grow pretty quick or put them by themselves in there Own tank.

Do you have a brine shrimp hatchery??

Newly hatched brine shrimp are an amazing food source for newly free swimming fry.

What food granules do you use??

[matt_Frontosa]

I personally would recommend finely crushed Tetra Bits which helps the fish in there growth

I&#39;ve got our week old fry (now free swimming) on Aquasonic Fry Starter (liquid). I just syringe up a few mls a couple of times a day and squirt it into the area they are swimming in.

They&#39;re growing very quick so it must be working OK :)

Marc,have you tried hatching your own baby brine shrimp??
If not should try it,the youngens growth takes of with it.
Also try to get frozen baby brineshrimp,just add the tiniest bit yo your tank like you would the liquid food.
They&#39;ll appeciate the variety :)

Hey guys do you where I can score some micro worm or white worm culture, when I was in NZ, I used to feed my african fry this type of food and they all seem to grow a lot faster.
