Hey, where abouts in Auckland are you? How old are the fry now?

You could use boiled egg yolk dissolved in water for them to eat but uneaten particles pollute the water quite alot.

i did think of egg yolk but as it pollute the water quite i didnt use it

and im in pokeno if that helps and the fry are now at day 7 free swimming

I was going to say you could come and grab some microworms but i'm in Pakuranga. If you happen to come out here you're welcome to them.

Here's a short list of what I've been recommended in the past...

-Baby Brine Shrimp (take a while to hatch though)

-Decapsulated BBS

-Infusoria (found in dirty pond water)

-Boiled Egg Yolk (pollutes water as stated above)

-Liquifry (hard to get the fry to eat this though)

-Microworms

-Daphnia

Good luck with your fry :-)

How old are your fry now? Are they at the free swimming stage?

i would second what Katrina said except

-Baby Brine Shrimp (takes 1-2 days to hatch)

-Decapsulated BBS

-Infusoria (found in dirty pond water)

-Boiled Egg Yolk (pollutes water if you use too much)

-Liquifry (hard to get the fry to eat this though)

-Microworms

-Daphnia can be too big

-Green water

I would have a go with the egg yolk one, just a small pinch of yolk, in about a litre of water. shake it all up and only add a drop 3-4 times a day. keep the bottle in the fridge and shake before each use. but keep up with the daily+ waterchanges

Those ones that I forgot to send you on monday should turn up tomorrow. Its a full culture instead of a starter.

Put some small holes in the lid. I'd also suggest that in a weeks time you put them in a bigger container. Add a bit of yeast into the container to get it going.

sweet ty i was waiting on them .
