i'm limited to the frozen/freeze-dried foods made by san francisco bay brand and hikari.

is daphnia as small as, or smaller than bbs? if so, should i get freeze-dried daphnia or frozen daphnia?

Not straight away i wouldnt of thought, daphnia is probably to big for the fry, a fishes stomach is only the size of its eye.

I use frozen cyclops when there's no frozen bbs in stock. Alot of the cyclops in the cubes are larger than bbs, but it's big enough for live bearer fry.

Depending on fry size,
Infusoria
Vinegar Eel
Microworms.
