Zac Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Hey all, I’m thinking of breeding some endlers for my first fish to breed. For the fun and to maybe make a little bit of extra money. The only problem is I’m very busy, and I worry about the feeding schedule of the fry. I’m not too worried about getting them to breed but fry need to be fed a lot. Here are a few questions: -How often would I have to feed them? -Are there any good alternatives other than live baby brine shrimp? -Do mothers often die after giving birth? I read that the process can be very stressful for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapexghost Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Livebearer fry are big rnough yo eat crushed up flake day one. Its pretty rare for them to day during childbirth, more common for them to die a few days aftef but still rare. Feeding once a day is fine.

lefty o Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 i typically just crushed up flake food into powder with my fingers for endlers/guppy fry. for the first week or two, ideally 3 small feedings a day, but 1 in the morning, and 1 at night works fine too. bonus if you have plants, as they can pick micro organisms off the plants lessening the need to feed.

Brandon p Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 For endless and guppies you can crush you flakes. I have endless in my pond and never feed them including the babies. If you have a super clean tank you can feed them when you have a chance. If I’m going to be gone a day or 2 I might toss a shrimp pellet in. They will feed off that .
