I pulled them away from parent because the parent keep eating them so I decided to give it a shot and raise them myself they just started to swim today a gave them a little bit of hikari first bites it's like powder I hope they eat it

Mikes right there is a lot more to it than just separating them and feeding them first bites you need to start a batch of baby brine shrimp in the am and in the pm and start boiling some eggs and start smearing the yoke on a dark rock or air stone. thats not all there is to it but it will give them a better chance than just first bites.....Josie
