Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

i used to feed my fry boiled egg yolks. I've also heard of people feeding them baby brine shrimp and microworms. I began feeding my fry flakes at about 2 weeks of age. i would crush them into tiny pieces and just spread it all over the tank. they'll grow up pretty fast

Some feed baby brine shrimp, I personally use crushed up flakes, mega mega small.
Others use Hikari First Bites.

Up to you really, if you don't want to shell out extra money, just crush up the flakes

Make sure you don't over feed it. It can make the fry bloated and fat.

And they do empty their teeny tiny little tummies every 20 minutes, so very small regular feeding about 6 times a day will help.
