I seperated about half the free swimming fry from the bolivian ram parents, as the fry always get eaten in the community tank.

Just now the fry are in a breeding net in the same tank, but being 2 days old, they are tiny! How do i get them to eat?
 
Liquifry if you have some, if not then it would be a good idea to get some. Once the eggsacs have been eaten the fry need minute foods otherwise they can starve. Try crushing down some flake as finely as you can, that might help.

Congrats on the fry :good:
 
The traditional food for fry is freshly hatched baby brine shrimp. Other less common micro foods for fry can be found here; http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/280791-tff-killifish-resource-centre/
 
I am trying to hatch brime shrimp for the first time, but i am not sure it worked! Put in the 3 drops, and it said put in enought air to keep the eggs suspended,..... but i cant see eggs!! We are now 36 hours in and i still cant see anything 'hatched' Any advice?!
