Hi LucyB just wondering, as a fine powder, do you mix it with some water in a pipette and direct it near to the fry or the bottom of the tank, or just shake it in at the top ? Im wondering if newly hatched fry will come to the surface to eat ?

I feed them the same for the 1st 7 days i drain some tank water from a turkey baster place on a cup, dip my finger init so its wet then dip into the Hikari First Bites and wash my finger in the cup. leave for 5 min suck it with turkey baster then target feed the fry in one go. After 7-10 days i move to baby brine shrimp
