I need to post some pics, but I've got a group of 2+week old fry. I pulled the parents a couple days ago when the male started going after the fry. I'm feeding BBS several times a day. I don't use beefheart, but I've thrown in some of Al's loose FDBW's and some beefheart flake, small amounts. It's been a while since I raised a batch. Should I be patient and let them find it, or use more forceful methods like cutting back on BBS? Thoughts?

A high quality powered fry food will help them transition. I use Capt'n Bob's, Regardless, don't quit feeding the BBS. I feed BBs once a day until the fish get too big to go for it which is close to 3".

Thanks Liz. Yes, I got the idea from John, too, to keep feeding the BBS.
