In a few hours, my blue koi angels will be 5 days free-swimming. Excuse the bottom of the tank, I didn't do my water changes before taking the pictures.

There's lots of babies, more than I'd care to count, and I cannot get them all in one picture as they break off into groups and do their own little thing. Mom and dad are very patient with me and with the babies -- I'll have to remove them in a few days to ensure they don't become lunch.

My alarm went off to let me know that brine was hatched (isn't it terrible, feeding babies at 3am?) so I figured I would snap some pictures while I was up.

Ryan, Don't quote me now, but I heard of a guy who used an automatic feeder to dispense BBS into his tanks during the day!!

He filled the compartments with salty water and the live shrimp and voila! Instant fry gratification!!

Would be worth an experiment I guess. ;)

They look great Ryan!
I was just sitting here though, and trying to compare them to my discus fry at 5 days free swimming. It seemed to me that the discus were larger.....so is this true, or just my imagination???
