I have about 100 or so 2 week old free swimming fry by themselves in a 30 long. Im wondering how much flake food to feed them?

I keep giving them about a teaspoon 3 times daily but it all seems to end up on the glass bottom. Will they eat it from the bottom? How much is appropriate?
 
i usually feed enough that I can see their little bellies are well rounded. You will likely have to do daily vacs from the bottom to keep the tank clean and water quality good

They arent that big where you can tell yet.
 
are you sure they are big enough to eat crushed flake then? My teeny tiny fry I feed either golden pearls or microworms.

I see them eating the tiny pieces so yeah. And this is all I have for now.
 
Convict fry
 
i actually feed my convict fry whole hikari food sticks.. lol

ever since they were free swimming... i put them in a little container that i place inside one of my bigger tanks... it keeps the temp right and i just change the water daily... i put them in a breeder when they are too big to get out of the slots..


so ever since they were free swimming i fed them whole pellets.. lol if they didn't have food in thier tummys or the food was all gone.. id give them another..
 
good luck with the fry...
about guppy fry i usually feed them 2 times daily with sera micron or any fry food available and a daily tablet of spirulina or spirulina powder
