	Convict Fry
ninjabill Small Fry Posts: 10 Kudos: 7 Votes: 0 Registered: 31-Dec-2004	My 2 convicts spawned about a week ago, and although the fry have been hatched for a few days, they havent been able to move around on their own, Howeverm when I came home from work today, they are now all happily swimming in the corner. Yay I've read that i can feed the fry on finely crushed up flake food, however, they are all sat in the bottom corner of the tank, how can I get the food to where they are without adding so much that I fill the whole tank up? regards geoff Last edited by ninjabill at 10-Mar-2005 11:33

I believe this will cause the flakes to sink. you may also be able to find a nice fry crumble. I get mine from [link=http://www.kensfish.com]http://www.kensfish.com" style="COLOR: #FFFF80[/link]. it's like pellets that have been ground up small enough for most fry to eat and it sinks very quickly.
