How often should i feed my fry?

Post by ghost79 »

My corydoras paleatus just spawned for the second time. The eggs are alone in a 10 gallon with methylene blue added. Can anybody offer any advice as to how often the fry need to eat once they have hatched? Thanks.

Did you read the sticky post on "How do I hatch and raise fry" at the top of this forum?

I fixed the link in the post I indicated - if you follow that link, it actually does say
here the term little and often should apply but this is not always a practical option. Therefore feeding twice a day will suffice making the daily water change before the second feeding.
.

I have been feeding C. sterbai with "Liquifry" drops for the first few days twice a day, and seem to give normal development.
