Food For Fry

[Thuggerz]

Hi all, i'm feeding my fry crushed flakes and Liquifry at the moment but wondering if i have to stop feeding them Liquifry and just give them the flakes?...Kind Regards, Thuggerz

hi
how old are your fry & what sort of size??? i generally use liquifry only for a couple of weeks at most & then watch to make sure they seem to be managing crushed flake ( but by crushed i mean flake thats really crushed to a powder) i also use liquifry no3 fry growth food which is a powder made by the same people. when your fry are a little bigger try putting a blanched romaine lettuce leaf in there on a clip & also blanched peas they love it! i also drop the odd little bit of catfish or algae tablet in too. i have a black mollie fry at the moment whose about 3/4 cm big & it manages powdered flake fine.

Hi millym again , my fry range between 1-2-3 weeks old but i think i might get them off the liquifry and just used crushed flakes...thanx again for the info..Cheers!

umm egg yoke is good

boil an egg, take out the middle *yellow part* crush it up real good, stir it, add water, pinch some and drop it in, it will create a cloud of yellow and your fish will love it

if you want to feed some to the parents then dont crush it as much
add water and throw it in


good luck

Egg yolk is OK, but it pollutes the water very quickly so you'll need to keep up on the water changes.

Flakes are a good staple, try alternating in some small high protein foods (Frozen, Live, Freeze-dried) and some veggies, as millym said.

egg yolk is a very good source of protein and im sure a good filter could clean it up in no time *mine did*
