Stephanie Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hey, where abouts in Auckland are you? How old are the fry now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilobite Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 You could use boiled egg yolk dissolved in water for them to eat but uneaten particles pollute the water quite alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikiegirl Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 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 cheers bg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katrina.hughes Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 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 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danval Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 How old are your fry now? Are they at the free swimming stage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diver21 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshlikesfish Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 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.
