dan23 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 i have just stripped my female flameback as she had been holding for about 2 - 3 weeks ( seems a long time) and about 25 fry came out with no egg sacks so now what do i feed them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damo83 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 G'day, I'm having good results with NLS grow... they are very small pellets so great for fry. Its also recommended to feed baby brine shrimp (BBS) either frozen or live if you can hatch your own. I've never bred flamebacks but going off malawi mouthbrooders 2-3 weeks is the norm...

damo83 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 New Life Spectrum Grow Formula... its a brand of fish food available at most good aquarium shops or online. Have a look here or try one of the forum sponsors at the top of the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rion Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 hi mate the best food would be live baby brine shrimp but they are costly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutters187 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 microworm last up to 4 hrs in water, then finely crushed flake does the trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlefish Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 baby brine is good depending on the size of the fry i personally use sera micron for really little fry (just used there sack) sera micropan fine crushed flake (for free swimmers) for a little while then i go on to baby brine i have found sera baby foods have a much better growth rate and health properties then most other foods and it dosen't make your water smell like someone died in there either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
