Fry Questions

[norto]

Just wondering what is the best way to feed brine shrimp to my fry? Fry are about 7days free swimming. I have been using an eye dropper but I don't know whether they are eating them or not is there any way to tell?
Also does the salt water from the brine shrimp hatchery worry the fish when i squirt the shrimp over the parents?
Regards,

It's probably best if you could strain and rinse the BS in a fine net.

Also you could release deeper in the water column with some air line tubing.

Hi Norto,

If you use a turkey baster you can get much closer to the fry and you stand far less chance of getting spiked by angry parents lol!

Thanks for the replies,
MAC the parents of my fry have been fantastic they don't even look like getting cranky when i suck up the rubbish of the bottom but better not push things hey.

No, dont push it lol. Some of mine are fine and gentle as but one or two of my pairs are anything but, real agro as soon as we go near the tank.
