A day or two before I expect hatch I add one drop per gallon of Liquifry No.1 to get infusoria culture started. I add again after hatch. Four days after hatch I start feeding bbs and microworms. I keep this up until fry are able to take grindal worms. I then switch to tubifex(brown) worms,adult bs, frozen bloodworms,flake etc. I do minimal water changes(20% every 3 days) until fry reach 1/2 inch and then increase slightly. Got lots of happy, healthy fish!
