Egg Yolk

[ricko10]

has anyone heard of feeding new born fry with egg yolk mixed with water?

 

[HODDY]

yes some people do feed them that but the thing is,it makes one hell of a mess and water changes are more of a pain. I would simply go out and buy my since a pot of microworms and grindal worms.Pefect for fry and so simple to do.

Hey. I have fed guppy fry egg yolk, but I suggest only a drop for all 100-200 fry. If there is less. Do NOT feed it, as when it hits the filter, the water clouds, and you will have to do a 100 percent water change to get it all out... Oh the good times of fish keeping...

But if you have an unfiltered tank, and LOTS of fry, then feel free to feed it to them, as there will be no leftovers, and it provides great protein!

Just take an egg, crack it, searate the white and the yolk, put the yolk in a mug, and put it in the microwave for like 5 seconds, then put a drip or 2 in your tank

is the yolk the yellow part?

yeah i've done it. it works well although you can't leave it in there for mroe than a few hours otherwise it gets stuck. i used it when my infusoria culture dried up (shows me to culture them in a styrofoam cup and leave them out on a hot day)

any DETAILED sites?

you can also hard boil the egg, then take the yellow part out and crumble it, then feed to fish

In Thailand it is common for breeders to feed fry egg yolk (the yellow part ) great protien
