lol actually I dont even know how old they are :oops: . I have been looking at them every day so for me, they have there for a while.
I think the small ones are around 4-5 weeks and the big ones are around.. 7-8 weeks. They are kinda small... roughly 3.5cm. Does any one know the size range for fry (1 or 2 months of age)??

=[ i just lost a fry due to fluke

can you get decap brineshrimp eggs? just soak it and feed it...apparently it's got more nutrients than newly hatched brineshrimp. I scored a bag and planning to feed the frys from my f1 triple red cockatoo's when they've bred.

woo, Really?? I always worry that if they eat eggs, they just get constipation or something. Thats what happens with betta fry. But cool! Thanks for the tip Dave+Amy, I will try that. hehehe
