 | Fry Feeding |
Michelo_69 Fingerling Posts: 35 Registered: 28-Mar-2007   | im realy happy because all of my livebearers are breeding successfully. But i let my fry be eaten. And lately i caught 6 guppy fry and 5 swordtail fry and put them in a 10gal. I was just wondering if i could keep them on a diet of flakes? Cheers  |

Using this method i have been able to put them back in the community tank after 2 months with out any losess.

You can also feed them Live foods, like Microworms & Brine Shrimp. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |
