What Should I Feed My Fry?

[snowflake311]

So I added My 3 day old fry to the nursery. What should I feed them? I have first bites fry food it's a fine dust. I dab my finger in to get just a bit of dust then put my finger in the tank.

Or should I crush flakes for them? Would that be better for clean up. I added some small pest snails to the tank as a clean up crew. I added java moss for shelter and to help with any ammonia. The tank has a thin layer of sand.

I just want to make sure I get it right and grow a few up to adults.

Any tips on raising Cory fry would be helpful thanks.

Baby brine shrimp is what ive been told is best. Once they are 3 weeks i think it is they can move onto things like bloodworms. Crushed pellets and flakes is good but im not sure it gives the right nutrition etc for baby growing fish. But live baby brineshrimp is what you should be doing if you can be bothered to do them.

i grind up my fish flakes so its fine food and i grind it up less and less each day till they get bigger.

Another good thing is microworm cultures, far easier than brineshrimp and apparently just as nutritious, <live foods are the way to go apparently as early on they recognise the movement (so Ive read ). The two fry I currently have are on microworms and bloodworm powder and first bites
