I usually mix the liquifry in with some water, then use a syringe to squirt the food over the fry.

or you could dilute the food and use a turkey baster... or a bulb syringe...

If you have a friendly Vet handy see if you can get hold of any of their old syringes particularly the large type they are perfect for that job. If not the turkey baster sold at the local super markets

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info
