Fish Folk Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Although we hatch and feed a lot of BBS, we also feed dry food to fry. Here is one way to do this. We keep a lot of fish foods in our fridge... So, to make fry food, I select a varied assortment of foods for grinding... Different foods “unlock” things in fish, sponsoring growth and development. (Even in humans... I hate broccoli, but it’s AMAZING for the body) I place a pinch of each into the pestle & mortar... Then grind it to fine powder... This gets fed _carefully_ to fry (easy to overdo it). Excess gets covered in fridge for next feeding. After that, it’s pitched.

RogueAquarium Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 IMO....just make a couple Big colonies of vinegar eels. They reproduce like crazy, they are tiny live food, they are SUPER easy to keep and harvest and the yield is awesome. I just got my first colony, and I'm going to make that the basis of my next guppy fry feed, probably with some "Hikari First Bites" a couple days a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But because it’s so good for me, I’ll eat it as prepared by my favorite Grand China Buffet restaurant. Edited June 18, 2021 by Fish Folk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 This is so cool. I actually bought a mortar and pestle about a month ago and started doing it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
