BBS ... when to stop feeding?

[SpideySteve]

So .... when should you stop feeding BBS? The little buggers seem to be eating everything right now, crushed pellets (they really love that!), BH mix, BWs, and BBS. So when should the BBS come out of their diet? Thoughts?

Thanks.

Usually by 21 days they can eat regular food and I stop the bbs.

Sorry I should have been a bit more specific here. They're 27 days old right now (from free swimming).

Thanks Carol.

You can feed bbs as long as they eat them. I have seen 3" discus still accepting bbs. It would take alot of bbs to feed discus that large on bbs exclusively. Some sort of gel food and/or a high grade pellet should be introduced as soon as you notice the fry picking at the parent's food on the bottom of the tank.
