Nutrition

I just read an interesting article in Sept 1997 Tropical Fish Hobbyist 
Catfish Corner Column.  The topic was "On Raising Catfish Fry".  Not to 
say that catfish fry nutrition is the same as dwarf cichlid nutrition, 
but of great interest is the comparison between different combinations 
of foods and their effect on growth and survivability of madtom catfish 
fry. The foods tested were a commercial flake food, salmon starter 
number 0, Larval AP100, a fry food, and newly-hatched brine shrimp.  
Slowest growth and lowest survivability were among fry receiving only 
flake food.  High growth but low survival rate were seen with madtom cat 
fry receiving only newly-hatched brine shrimp. The highest survival rate 
were achieved with salmon starter.  Best growth rate was achieved with a 
combination of salmon starter and brine shrimp.  Anyone know where to 
get salmon starter number 0?
