    Default Baby Brine Shrimp

    I wanna know how long you feed live baby brine shrimp to your fry? My pack is 4 weeks old by now, wanna know if it's still "enough" for them... I feed 8x a day, 4 times live brine shrimp, and I feed them frozen daphnia, frozen baby brine and frozen brine shrimp for the other feeding schedule...

    At that age they should be eating beef heart and small pellets as well as the BBS

    I feed mine the BBS as long as they eat it.. At yours age, I also add crushed Flake and ground up pellets or freeze dried Blackworms ground up. I soak these before feeding.


    frozen baby brine and frozen brine shrimp for the other feeding schedule
    ..I would skip these unless you are the one freezing the BBS..The store bought stuff is sub par in a big way. And the frozen Brine shrimp is not a great food for growing fry and really best as treat for adults... nutrionally there is better.

    I feed the fry with live BBS with selcon usually for one to two weeks then beefheart shavings. Never frozen BBS.

    I find that fry really grow poorly on BBS. They will grow like weeds on beefheart shavings. Don't forget those water changes!

    At my age, everything is irritating.
