| everyone has an opinion on different types of flake food..ive found that omega one has more ingredients of proteien and less additives than tetra brands...but again, everyone uses something different  |

| make sure that you crush it into a very fine powder as well. i've heard some people put flakes in a plastic bag and crush them that way |

| Why crush the flakes. Just look in the bottom of container. Should have enough to last a while.
You can supplement w/ Fz Baby Brine Shrimps and As they grow, try Fz Daphnia. |

| egg yolk works but it can foul up a tank really quickly so i think most people generally don't use it |

| The best food you can feed them are either decapsulated brine shrimp eggs or baby brine shrimp, however these can be expensive so crushed flake or granules work just fine as well. |

| you can hatch your own brine shrimp (since they are expensive), i'll look for the link for you, it's around here somewhere  |

| I think Shawnie meant to put a comma in between the brine shrimp eggs and the fry. read it with the comma and it reads "and any fry (whatever) love it too". That is what she meant. |
