Any suggestions what to feed fry with. At the moment I'm feeding them ZM fry food and baby brine shrimp. I would like to give more of a variety
Thanks

Sinking tablets are also a good supplement. Remember that even though they are not algae eaters, they need their greens when babies

are tiny amounts of frozen cyclops & other meaty foods (not bloodworm) ok for babys? im just starting to feed my little one but he doesnt seem to touch zm foods, maybe im just being paranoid!!

As long as the food is small enough it's ok. I don't feed my shrimp mix when there's babies in the tank. Baby brine shrimp is good, as is cyclops, as well as sinking tablet.
i wouldn't worry about not seeing them feed. Keep an eye on their development, check if they have a round tummy. If they do they're feeding
Good luck!

My fry simply go nuts for frozen cyclop-eeze. i also ffed forzen daphnia, AquaDine wafets, Hikari sinking wafers, earthworm sticks. flake and once a week spirulina with garlic flake.
Pretty much anything that is either tiny or else gets soft seems fine.
