Hi,
IME I find these foods to be the best when feeding parent raised fry with parents. ;D
IMO They are 0nf1 + 2 Live BLKworms
Live Brine, DecapBrine,
I have heard of people Shaveing onf1 and chopping live worms for fry. It is a good ideal if the fry are not fond of eating it or do not know it as a food source yet! But for My fry I use whole cubes and whole worms hee.hee.hee.
My advice when useing ONF1+2 is to feed it to your pairs when they carry fry!
This will help the fry take to it faster. However this goes with any food you feed to the pair But Imo some being better for fry
(EASY TO EAT)
BECAREFUL! onf1 and 2 are very dirty products that will deplete your water Quality fast! wipeing down the tank walls will be needed daily along with large W/Cs. onf1 + 2 is a gel base seafood liquid diet high in everything needed for good growth and color frozzen into a tiny cube. Baby discus fry will pound it! at 1 week after free swimmimg sometimes sooner if things are set right!
My point was LOL! dropping a full cube will be best allowing you many hours from feeding again. Imo its so fine I believe discus could be artificially raised off of it. Dropping in a whole cube will not foul your water as fast as you may think.
onf1 + 2 will stay in one piece srinking in size after hours and hours of feeding. However once the fry reach a size of 1" or bigger.
Its best not use it anymore because of the biteing and the spitting ways they pick up when eating. This will only foul the water quality faster and is really not needed anymore. beefheart and blood worms ETC.. can now be used.
IME I find live BLKworms the best! Only because of water quality
and because when baby discus at 1 week will take to them biteing little chunks off of them like they would do to there parents slime coat. Ofcourse its best that the parents are fed BLWorms during spawning and during raiseing this will help attract the fry faster and help your pair from becomming rawl and nasty even in some cases dyeing.. At times I would drop in balls that would last the whole day. leave and feed at 7am home at 5pm fry still fat and eating and good water quality to boot!
But still I allways added in treats of ONF1+2 shaved bloodworms,mikereeds nbb,live brine,beefheart,plankton flakes crushed and DecapBrine.
HTH the future Breeders!
