recommendations for fry (baby fish) food?

Depends on the fry.

Do some research on what is appropriate for the babies you have.

Get some live plants. They come covered in microscopic critters that fry love to munch.

In a pinch, boiled egg yolk works. BUT!! It's messy and grows harmful bacteria fast. If you feed it, you have to clean it all up after the babies are done.

There are different cultures (insects) you can feed.

There are prepared fry foods at pet stores. Again, get the one best suited to your babies.

Live baby brine shrimp is the best option. They have the most nutrients with the yolk sacks or something. Other alternatives are specially made frozen baby brine shrimp for baby fish and other small fish. You can also feed crushed flake foods or those liquid food for new born fish. Remember to feed the best and highest quality food so the fry can grow big and more colorful!

hi I easily have guppy fry that are 2 months and a few days u can see there colouration and that they are vast reason i feed them in the morning after college and at night and now and returned supply them snacks, i feed them brineshrimp and crshed flakes any tropical fish type will do do not feed them blood worms universal this is like us eating burgers universal. if i ought to reccomend i wouldnt use a breeder internet which could rigidity her out alot and may even deliver approximately dying i could enable existence happen as that's in the wild and make the tank have alot of flora or u can placed her in a small filtered heated tank this is cycled. if u can see the frys eyes she is able to furnish beginning in the subsequent 24 hours to three days so if u are gonna use the internet i could use it now or placed her in a seperate small tank yet good success along with your fry and that i've got a million day previous molly fry that are eating brine shrimp and crushed flakes

I just grind up the same food I feed the big fish. Fry won't eat large pieces. Newly hatched brine shrimp are great for fry, but make sure you feed the fry the shrimp as soon as you can. Baby brine shrimp lose their nutritional value very quickly if they aren't fed themselves. Be careful about feeding the fry live foods. Depending on the size of the fry, they might end up being a snack for the live food you are trying to feed them.

depending on the fish but i feed my 1 and a half week old fry powdered tropical flakes...this is how you get this powder...get a pastic bag and put tropical fish flakes in it and start mashing it until its powder it might take like 15 minutes to make it powder. also what babies like is BABY brine shrimp and yuo can urchase those in the freezer in the fish section but make sure to get BABY brine shrimp and thats about it and i think the baby brine shrimp might cost around $3 i think...uim not sure though! hoped i helped!

You can grind up regular flake food into a fine powder, or you can purchase fry food from a petshop or petco,or petsmart.

for fry I use and electric coffee grinder and make a powder mixture consisting of freeze dried shrimp,tropical fish flakes,freeze dried bloodworms ,the grinder will turn it into a very fine powder,then I will also hatch some brine shrimp (sea monkeys) and feed them

Yes you could feed them powdered food. you could either my the Hikari Brand first bite fish food. Or oyu could make your own by putting fishfood in a blender and blending it into a fine powder.

boil a piece of potato and then put it in a container let it rot about a week then give a little to your fry!

i would crush up fish flakes for them
