Discusguru Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 you shouldn't be feeding liquid fry food after 2 weeks of swimming. 3 mths old frys should be eating anything and everything and they should be quite big in size by now unless they're stunted.

imsweet Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Boiled egg yolk? (about 3-4min), then when it's cold it crumbles quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sub.z Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Im going to try that right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Egg also pollutes really badly so make sure that they literally eat it before it hits the bottom. Boiled peas, shell, and squished goes down a treat for them too. They'll take any dry food now and also still enjoy bbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Never heard of egg white being used, but it is common for breeders to hard-boil eggs, eat the white themselves and use a small portion of hard yolk and add water, emulsify then feed to the fry. When doing this it pays to have a gang of cleaners in the tank. Snails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Egg yolk is "dead" easy to become a disaster as it can turn into a polluted mess real easy. You only need realy small amounts. You can make ice cubes out of a very weak suspensin and thaw them out in the morning and feed over a day. Temptaion is to over feed because of the desire not to waste the egg yolk but you do only need a fraction of a yolk (eat the rest and you wont be tempted).
