Re: [GSAS-Member] HELP! I have free swimming fry!

Anita:

If the parents are doing the rearing, I have heard of spawns being raised off 
of flake food alone (from plantedtank.net).  It seems that the adults grind it 
up in there gill teeth and spit it at the fry.  It looks like there is enough 
microfauna in an established tank to keep the fry going and it is possible that 
the crushed foods feed the microfauna more than the fry.  For my own spawns I 
have used frozen baby brine and liquifry but I have also raised one angel to 
date.  Not one spawn, but one fish.  I do have 3 day old ram eggs (with a lace 
plant that has flowered twice) that should hatch tonight so if I find anything 
I will pass it on.
