Re: [Killietalk] Feeding Fp.gardneri (P-82) fry

["Tarmack" <tarmack at clarityconnect_com>]

I feed my fry and adults gardneri the baby brine shrimp that have just
hatched ... I don't let the shrimp live past 6 - 12 hours after hatching.  I
occasionally feed the adult gardneri frozen adult brine shrimp and 1/4 inch
pieces of live earth worms (but twice a day I feed them live baby brine
shrimp).

days old.  We've been feeding brine shrimp nauplii and microworms and are
very excited because the fry is starting to look like a fish now!
> Anyway my question is twofold: roughly how old do the fry need to be
before they are big enough to handle brine shrimp that are past the first
molt, and what is the preferred method of enriching the brine shrimp?  Will
yeast or phytoplankton suffice or do we need to be thinking more along the
lines of selco?
