Feed brine shrimp (fries)

[ltsai]

Mine finally hatched and I took some to feed them but none of them seem to be interested.

Neither the beta nor H. Rasbora are interested. Too small/Can't see them?

Still waiting for a majority of my beta fries to stop sticking to the side and swimming horizontally before I start feeding them with the brine shrimps.

Now I can see most of my beta fries are no longer sticking to the side. They are either swimming or at the bottom.

I fed them the brine shrimp but they seem to be not feeding on them.

Probably too big for the fry at this stage. Try spirulina

I tried 100% pure spirulina pills that are smashed up into fine powder. Mix a tiny bit with tank water and pour them in. Actually, I don't know whether they are eating.

Not sure at all.

Are they still with you?

Banana worms are great for fry. They are much smaller than artimia, and easy to culture.

It's been a week and they have grown. Now I can see them eating the brine shrimps, whether dead or alive. There used to be some white micro worms in the tank. Those worms are so tiny and thin, less than a millimeter.

I tried crush Tetra bits but they didn't like it, and was hard to get it real small.
