Its time to start cooking the greens.....let 'em get nice and smushy! I figure 2-days on the egg sack.....?

Any and all advise is welcomed as this is a first for me!!!

No advice but I'm rooting for ya! Those are awesome fish :)
 
great job! TwoTankAmin had some success raising baby farlowellas (two of which I have now). From what I understand, its very difficult to feed the babies. Since they are such apathetic grazers, I would consider trying to paint river rocks with a mix of gelatin and spirulina or other pureed veggie.
