RE: what is small enough to feed rams?

["Mike Chappell" <chippell@sgi.net>]

To all-

On the rams, I use microworms/bbs mix from day 1 and I never have problems
with that. I think the microworms ease it for the rams as these last longer
in the water column and also go to the bottom more, with less damage to the
water quality as well. I've seen day 1 ram fry eat bbs, if the bbs is
freshly hatched, they can eat bbs from day 1, you might not have high
success rates, but you will have some. I use the microworms and that works
just fine- just my 2 cents;) Have a good one!

I have had great luck using the "Clusters" size of the Golden Pearls offered
by www.brineshrimpdirect.com . The ram fry seem accept it readily, and it is
small enough to be eaten by the smallest fry. I use this for the first few
days, and then switch to bbs. I have noticed no losses using this, and they
quickly reach a large enough size to take bbs, for those not already large
enough to take bbs from the start.
