 | What to feed baby Kribs? |
girlunderrainbow Big Fish Posts: 323 Kudos: 230 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Aug-2003   | I just found them yesterday..still had yolks attached. Today, they are free swimming..the seem to be eating things off the rocks.. and I have Brine Shrimp Gel, and have liquified some flake..LFS has "first bites" baby fish powder I think by Hikari.. and Brine Shrimp eggs, but I can't get there till TOMORROW. I also have Frozen Omnivore food..dunno if there is any way to process this to make it small enough. |

| girlunderrainbow Big Fish Posts: 323 Kudos: 230 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Aug-2003 | Thanks. At least, there are no predators in tank..unless I have a crazy baby that hovers at the surface (African Butterfly Fish).. They are picking at the algae (microganisms?) on rock..and on the plants.. I'm feeing Brine shrimp gel..flake...and smashing up some frozen food (after it's melted)..till I can get brine shrimp. |

If you can get frozen <(Baby)] Brine shrimp that'll get you going faster than hatching your own, though not much. I always keep some frozen BBS on hand. Good luck, Mike |

Liquifry is good, but only for the first 5/7 days. I also used to crush flakes for the Brichardi fry & they used to eat them easily. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |
