Unless the eggs are extra small because the parents are young, I think they
will take bbs right from the first day. Get 'em hatching! I still use green
water, and add a sprig of Java moss to the hatching container with one drop
of Liquifry #1 to encourage infusoria growth. The vinegar eels are also
great supplements for early feeding.

The sprig of Java moss also keeps the water crystal clear. Apparently it has
rotifers and other filter feeders. They seem to deplete the usual cloud of
bacteria that forms in hatching trays. For that reason, I add it to the
hatch water early in the cycle, as soon as the first water change, usually.
