i have heater anf filter so i may aswel use them? why do they need places to hide if there are no preditors in there? just for comfort? how long do they need to be in there and can you give me a rough weekly feeding plan?i dont have any substrate in with my newborn fry, have a few hiding places (plants/caves/etc) i don't have a filter or a heater in mine, i give them water changes twice a week
hope this helps a bit
ok, wats all this i keep hearing about "brineshrimp"?well if you have them theres no harm using them, the hiding places are just to make them feel more secure, as for feeding, most people say 2/3 times a day but i have had no trouble with mine feeding them once a day or even every other day, and i feed mine on finely crushed flake
okt hanks, now all i need is................... fry lol thanks for all our helpi believe you can feed the baby brineshrimp, but i could give you any info on it
do you think i should feed the fry brinshrimp for the 1st few weeks then move onto crushed flake? or a mixture? i would rather feed them brineshrimp just to see them chase em but is that bad for them constantly brien shrimp? also, is brine shrimp sea monkeys?i use one of those medium storage tubs,about 2 gallon. with a heater and sponge filter. it has no substrate, but some floating plants, a few fake plants and an extra cave i had. i give it weekly water changes (more depending on amount of fry it has in) it stays at 25oC.
i feed crushed flakes usally, but baby brine shrimp when they are a few weeks old. if fed live, the brine shrimps will swim around, giving the fry something to "hunt".
