I tried feeding them the frozen brine shrimp tonight. They smelled the food and went near it but then they would start darting away from it? This is what happened last time. Not sure what is going on?

Thanks for the response. I am going to try that method of feeding the brine shrimp as you suggested. I also feel better now about adding the live bacteria so I will probably give that a shot too. Thanks!

I tested for amonia and it was in the safe range. Next I used a strip that tests for 9 different things I believe. It was showing nirtite and nitrate and I also had very low alkalinity. The copper was out of range as well. I want to try adding the live bacteria but still a bit hesitant. If I...

I did try frozen baby brine. I still have a lot left in the freezer because when I initially offered it to them, they didn't seem interested and even swam from it like it was scaring them? lol. Now that most are around a month old, I will try offering it again. Is the best way to take some of...

Thanks for your response! I will try increasing my water changes, just didn't want to risk stressing them out too much, as when I was doing more frequent water changes, I felt like I was losing more fry than usual. I think I have no choice though, what with the nitrite levels. Would it be ok to...

Thanks for the tip about the dry food expanding if not soaked first. That is most likely why some fry float at the top upside down with huge bellies. I will correct that and hope it fixes that issue. Thanks again!

Hello! I am new to this forum so I hope I am posting this in the right spot. I have some questions regarding my pepper cory fry. This is my first time successfully raising any. The first couple go rounds, didn't go so well, as I am just learning. If anybody could please help answer my questions...
