Hi all, my rams had babies and surprised me. I put a brine hatcher up for my krib fry, but normally I'd do infusoria. Will mashed up egg yolk, live bbs, even smaller than normal first bites.
andOne reason I use foam/sponge filters is that I can squeeze them and release a lot of micro-organisms for super-small fry. Such fry often 'feed' on the filter. This is where they can find food that is the right size for them.
I do both of these you get a lot of rotifers particulalry and these are good fry food, I also like a large wodge of Java moss in the tank with all little fry, it provides a lot of growing surface for "biofilm" and it also snags passing microworms (if you feed these, and I do). I like to have a microworm culture running, they are incredibly low maintenance and smaller then BBS. Banana or Walter worms are smaller nematodes and equally easy to keep.f you have a rain-barrel or any sort of outdoor container where leaves and twigs have fallen in and started to decay in the water, scoop up some leaf litter, carefully remove any dragonfly or diving beetle larvae, then place in tank with fry. It shouild have rotifers, paramecium, other tiny inverts suitable as fry food.
