Raising Fry

[RuevenM at aol_com]

Hi Chris,

         Start the gardneri fry on the baby brine shrimp. Use bbs that is 
48hours or less in age. The bs eggs usually hatch in 24 - 36 hours, so just 
keep new eggs hatching. Microworms are a bit big for new born fry. They can 
come on line when the fry are a week or two old. Having some green water 
(euglena) cultured is always a good idea. A little bit of the green water 
helps feed small or weak fry the first 2 days, along with the live bbs. Watch 
the bellies of the babies to see if they are taking food. The bellies will be 
orange from the bbs. Start with feeding LESS than you want to until you get 
the hang of how much they eat. Feed them twice a day, maybe three times if 
you are not an overfeeder like me. Add some little snails and java moss or 
fern to help the fry make it. Keep them clean.
