Fry food

["Tomoko Schum" <tomokoschum@earthlink.net>]

Hi everyone,

Thanks to a few list members' help, I now have a
small family of A. borellii.  Some of you might
remember my frantic search for male borellii after
finding what I had turned out to be not borellii
but hybrid "New Blue/Laser Blue" males.

Borellii fry became free swimming last Saturday.
Approximately 20 to 30 fry are following the
little mother.  They eat live bbs (their little
tummies turn orange.)  I don't know if they are
eating any of frozen bbs or decapsulated brine
shrimp eggs.  I suppose bbs is the most favored
fry food but what else do they eat when they are
this young?  Can someone tell me how much and how
often to offer what kind of food to the little
fry?

Tomoko
