Newly born fish are very tiny and they have very small mouth. They cannot eat the same fish food you regularly give to your grown fish, so it is important to know what the appropriate food for fish fries.
1. Brine Shrimp:
Brine Shrimp is the best food fish fries. You can find Brine Shrimp eggs in aquarium shops, if it’s plain egg then take a tea spoon of egg, put them into small empty aquarium or use one ltr pastic bottol instead, add one tea spoon of non iodized salt, now add water and use a air pum for aeration, set the temparature arround 26-27C, if you have purchased a brine shrimp egg mix then you don’t have to salt in that, within 24-48 hrs egss will be hatched and you can feed your fish fires with those.
2. Prepared Mixes:
In aquarium store you may find ready made food for fries, it’s easy to use but only problem it may the leftover food may cloud your water, you can’t separate them easily because filter won’t be on in aquarium with fries.
3. Infusoria:
Infusoria is basically microorganisms that are present in water. Normally in pond water it’s available, you can culture it easily.
In a empty tank add some old aquarium water or water from pond, add some potato and lettuce in that , then place it into in sunlight. The bacteria will increase in the water. It will be cloudy & Infusoria feed on bacteria, will result increase the amount of Infusoria and slowly the water will be cleared in few days. Now you can use that water into your fries aquarium,only one risk it has is that sometimes the water becomes poisonous because of some unwanted microorganisms.
