Default Feeding baby fry

I think it's important to use a sponge filter in a rearing tank because the fry, after the egg yolk is absorbed in app. 5 days, can graze on the tiny foods the sponge catches. Having a dirty tank is important because the fry also feed on the mulch at the bottom of the tank. When performing water changes never do more than 10-15% and always replace the water from the parents tank or another established tank. Take the refill water from the top of the tank area since that is the cleanest. As soon as they can eat foods try to feed live food such as baby brine shrimp since this will make the fry grow faster. If fry are too small for baby brine then use vinegar eels and/or micro worms until large enough to take brine shrimp.
