	newly hatched brine shimp for cory fry?
NeonBaby Fingerling Posts: 44 Votes: 0 Registered: 08-Oct-2003	Hi all, Do you know if I can feed newly hatched brine shrimp to my 2 weeks old Albino cory fry? How old can they start to have the shrimp? Currently i've been feeding liquid food and fry flakes to them. But everyday there seem to be more fry dying. I do 30% water change each day on a container with airstone. The container is floating on my 55g tank. What did I do wrong? Please advise. thanks
