hi quite unexpectidly my sajicas have spawned

just noticed them. my first ever babies from non-livebearing fish! there is probably 20-30 of them

mum and dad seem to be doing a good job-keep putting them back in to the flowerpot for protection

question is what can i feed them- baby brine shrimp would be good but cant get them for a least a couple of days. will there be some foot in the gravel for them to eat? will the female spit out food for them?

Nice pictures!
Maybe you can grind up some flaked fishfood, that would be small enough for them to eat.

Microworms are great fry food if you can get hold of them and are easy to culture compared to brine shrimp.
