Hi,

Thank you to Charles and Koi-Lo who replied to my last post. My fry hatched
last Thursday (9th March) and are now swimming around in there tank. I have
used a sponge filter which is air driven. I have been feeding Liquifry to
them. I have also purchased a Micro Worm culture.

The fry are about 6mm long at the moment. When is the right time to start
feeding Micro Worms to them? Should I wait another week, or start now by
adding a few to the tank? Some sites online say you should feed them now,
others say wait until 2 weeks old.

Best Wishes,

Graeme

Try a tiny amount and see if they eat them. If they ignore them wait a few
days and try again. Keep us informed as they progress.
