feeding fry

[tlawson]

Hi,
my fry are four weeks old now they all look healthy and happy.

My understanding is its time to start feeding them, what do you suggest?

You should have been feeding them from the end of the first week already. I would imagine by now they are well behind, so start feeding a good small granular food or fine beef heart, then move to other forms of food as well.

I did try that at the start by the never seamed interested.

freshly hatched baby brine shrimp is super food for fry from 1 week to 2 month old, by now they should be on finly grated beefheart and just over 5c pice size

picked up some baby brine shrimp they seamed more interested in that.

The fry have also started to hang around the filter more now then the parents but as a group they change there minds every so often and hand out with the male.

The male appears to be at the stage where he has had enough and the female looks like she is hiding from them. do you think that are at a stage that they can be separated from the parents?
