Best fry food and feeding schedule for small killifish fry

[mountaintoppufferkeeper]

I am making a second attempt at growing out a group of clown killifish for a try at a future large colony. First attempt ended with one female making it out of quarantine. Any suggestions for foods to try? I was considering incorporating golden pearls with the standard BBS and coop fry food. Not yet experienced with the killifish fry or extremely small juveniles. Thanks much.

I haven't had much experience with clown killifish fry, but depending on how big they are, you might try Hikari First Bites, Easy Fry food, baby brine shrimp, frozen daphnia and cyclops, and the powder form of Repashy gel food.

When I had my clown killies (which I LOVED), I kept lots of live plants in the tank along with driftwood and a sponge filter to encourage lots of micro-foods to grow, and I made sure that they got prepared food every day. This was before I started hatching out brine shrimp so I just fed them quality crushed up flake food. I think the natural micro-foods were more important though since I had fry randomly appear and I never target fed them. They liked swimming through my salvinia roots. I would recommend live/frozen baby brine, the Co-op fry food, and Sera micron since that's what I have fed my other small killies. Good luck!
