Whats the earliest age to feed free swimmers????

[TriiPleThreaT]

the parents of my free swimmers don't seem to take care of the lil ones so i was wondering when is the earliest you can feed them baby brine shrimp.

This is their 3rd batch of free swimmers and i would like to have some survive past the 3rd week.

thanks for the help

You should be feeding BBS as soon as you can. Within the first few days if they will take it. You need to suck some up in a pipette and shoot them over the backs of the parents, they will stick to the mucus and be seen as food right away.

You cannot just leave them with the parents food ime if you want good fry growth.
