[dwarf-puffers]

hey my dwarf cockatoos r only 4 months and i have only had them in my tank for not evn a month yet. i ak ready have wigglers. ok now to get to the point when will they need another sorce of food besides theyre yplk sac and when will their yolk sac run out please dont say live baby brine shrimpe because i dont have the time for that so please if there is an alternate food sorce tell me prefered to be frozen food. but any food you no whould be great

Your lfs should sell frozen baby brine shrimp and/or frozen daphnia. That both of these out before you feed them. The only other option is perhaps if you have live plants in the tank, there will be enough goodies there for them (provided the female can get them there safely). *not sure if that is correct for dwarfs; I know that livebearers will eat from there*. The yolk sacks should run out in a day or two. Check with your lfs; they should have it. I know that I don't have time to hatch any out myself, either. Perhaps you could use Hikari (sp?) First Bites. It's a powdered fry food, but I don't think that you will get the growth rate you would want for a cockatoo (which likes a meaty diet). HTH.

crushed flakes
Take a pinch of flakes, put in a small small plastic bag, and crush it with your
middle finger and thumb(or what evers comfortable) for around 10-15 minutes and the flakes will be powdery by then, and feed them to the fry
cheap easy solution
or theres a product you can by called liquifry, which is a liquid packed with brine shrimp and other good foods, which is really good
HTH and congrats
