i would say no w/c till they are free swimming...then it's about 20% w/c a day

You will need to feed them hatched baby brine shrimp when they go free swimming

try to drecrease the current in the water and feed them heaps

i'm still learning too so keep an eye on other peoples advice

cheers and good luck

you start to feed only when they are free swimming, they feed off the yolk or sac while they are in wiggling stage. feed 2-3 times daily of newly hatched brine shrimp, that gives the best results. Feeding and clean aerated water is essential for high survival, with little current! i wont do too much wc's just keep the bottom of the tank clean!
