are new born jack dimpsys large enough to eat brinshrimp? ive been giving them crushed flake food about 3 times per day but im not really sure if thats enough.
If you want, Hikari make an excellent fry food called First Bites. It comes in a little, green, resealable pouch. I've used it often.
can you find "first bites" at a LFS or is it a specialty product? how many times per day should i feed them?
You can find it at most LFS' and large chains, like Petsmart. You should feed fry 3-5 times daily. You only need a small pinch for really small fry.
I pulverize pellets, peas and flakes, and shoot small amounts with a pipette (or a turkey baster) right into the school as many times a day as possible.
peas? like from safeway? i wouldnt have thought of that. does your "smootie" work for new born fry, as of this morning they where all still wiggling around the bottom of the tank. how long till they start free swimming?
