I have 4 rainbowfish. They are all bought from the local fish store, so are not the most colorful kind. I think they are of the splendid rainbowfish family. I think they might be the checkered splendid rainbowfish. Unfortunately all the rainbowfish that they had were young and so i had to guess on their sex. Now, after 2 years i can tell that there are 3 males, and 1 female. I tried to condition her using freeze dried brine shrimp and after three weeks ske was ready. They spawned early in the morning {about 6:30} . I did not turn any lights on, i think they spawned because of the rising sun. I need help on feeding them. How do you make infusoria? They will hatch in 2 days. Need help ASAP. They need to be fed immediately after hatching.

http://www.aqualandpetsplus.com/Live...0Infusoria.htm -- i found this article on growing your own infusoria. Unfortunately, it sounds like a process that takes much more than 2 days unless you can get a starter culture locally.
