I have a similar situation and all I feed the fry is flakes that I "crush" between my fingers as I drop them into the tank. Dad also doesn't care for me too much as he will slam into the side of the tank to get me! I normally leave a towel over the tank to help keep their stress levels down as I have two small children that think it's great fun to watch the parents attack fingers through the glass... p.s. It's somewhat easier to read a post when the Caps Lock is turned off. > ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREAT. Please turn off your caps lock. It reads like you are SHOUTING. > ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREAT.

Crumble up some flake food and throw it in and they will be fine. I did start mine off with live BBS for the first couple of weeks however I'm sure they would have been fine without it. Rick |
