If you have plants in the tank, the fry can get some food off the plants. Your LFS should sell fry food which is a powder food. |

A good way to do that is to put the flakes in a plastic bag (like a zip-lock), close it, and rub the flakes between your fingers for a while. This way you get really fine flake bits. I don't think the ghost shrimps are any danger to the fry, although I don't have any. Ingo  |
