I have angel fry, but my baby brine shrimp hatchery went down and it will be at least a day more before I have more shrimp. It has been 2 days already and they have not eaten too much. What else can I try to feed them?
fry food!

Can you buy frozen BABY bs at your lfs? This might do the trick.
I have also used frozen daphnia, and powdered flake food on fry - not angel fry though.
Hope it all works out!

I have this powered fry food I bought a while back, but they seem only interested in the live moving brine shrimp...I will keep my fingers crossed.
I second Cathy's post. Petsmart sells frozen baby brine shrimp.
My guppy fry are a bunch of spoiled rotten brats and ignore the frozen bbs for a while, but once they realize that's all that's going to fall 'from the heavens', they take them. But I fully agree with you, if the bbs move, they're all over them like they're hot cakes

I buy the adult frozen brine, but I never knew they sell the baby brine. I will check it out after my classes today. I have fed my baby guppies live baby brine, and they go crazy for it. My angels like I said, only seem interested in the live. I have not fed them live for 3 days, and they are still living. They must like the powered stuff.
Also jellied brine shrimp will do the trick. If they are really young use an infusoria starter if you can (liquifry does this to some extent). If all else fails, put a really strong light on it and grow the algae. They will eat it off the side of the tank.
They are 9 days old after free swimming right now. A few are starting to get little fins and their normal shapes.
