The fry may be too small at first.... I'm going through this now with Midas Cichlid fry. I picked up some "liqui-fry" today and they seem to be eating.

I plan to move to frozen brine shrimp in a few days once they get a little bigger.

Were you planning on hatching your own brine shrimp? I was looking at a hatchery yesterday at a LFS. Seems like it's a fair amount of hassle.... but I have never done it myself.

Yes i was gonna hatch it myself and it's really easy, if you got any messengers i can tell you which one work for me. I don't think they'll be happy if i advertise products here and stuff........

go for it, i doubt it matters. this website doesn't "sell" anything, so you aren't exactly taking sales from them.

i just use flake food, i would powder it up tho....... i haven't gotten fancy with fry food ever, yet. i've only bred convicts and jewels tho, and most places don't want/need them so i'm not worrying about maximum yield.
