when my fish breed (blue acaras) i never feed the fry especially i just feed normally and they fry seem to be fine, after about a week of free swimming i take out all the fry and place them into a 2g and a 10g from there i feed brione shrimp and powdered flake food. i never feed specialty foods and my brother doesnt either and he breed convists.

I have never fed my convict fry and they are still in the tank with the parents....they seem to graze on algae and fallen flake food and are doing VERY well...they've been alive for about a month now and are starting to get big and look great
