swordtail fry

[Fish-Fanatic]

well we just got some baby swords but we werent able to get the female in a breeder net in time so we had to catch the babys and put them in the breeder net so we only have 3 in there. i think this was her first time so im guessing there werent many. i wanted to know what i should feed them. right now im just grinding the flake food i feed my fish as small as i can but im worried they wont get enough nutrition....


If you have any suggestions on what i should feed them that would be helpful!

The finely crushed flakes are great just watch how much you feed them and remove anything that remains in the breeding net after they eat. Fresh baby brine shrimp are great live food for them.

Try varying between the flakes and baby brine shrimp. You could also culture daphnia and algae. You could also use hard-boiled egg yolk.

Me i crushed the flake it fine power, using a morta and pedestal, and the babies are fine with it, and so far growing up to be very healthy fish

You could also put flakes in a plastic sandwich bag and crumble it with your fingers until you get it small enough. Serve with a toothpick.
