OMG - Fry

[Charlotte]

OMG, guess what happened yesterday!!

THIS! There's approximately 40!!!!! It took my daughter 2 hours to catch the little fry's. As you can see, I've got them in a nursery for safety, now what! I purchased some liquid food. How old are they when I can give them something else, and what would be that something else? I hope I'm doing the right thing so far. They are so tiny, 3 are the size of a pin head, but they're swimming around.

Well depending on what they are??

But yesterday I went down to the LFS and bought some frozen baby brine shrimp for my baby discus.That should work well for and also as mentioned else where nmaybe super finely crushed flake or granules.
Just be careful of over feeding and fouling their water..

So feed only in minute amounts..:)

I believe she is called a Dalmation Mollie (blackish one), please correct me if I'm wrong. Sorry it's not 100% clear. To the right of her are about 6 surviving from her last birthing, they are such good survivor's, I never had a nursery for those poor fry's.

that's exactly what i feed my baby braziliensis. After 2 weeks or so, i crush up arowana sticks for them and they seem to be growing pretty well.
