Toobit67 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Too tiny... like under 1/4 inch to get a pic of... But I have exactly two itsy-bitsy fish fry... may have come in on my Dwf lettuce roots... i don't know... They look like 2 eyes and a transparent tail, zooming all over the top of my tank... usually not far from each other... I didn't invite them... but they are here now.. and i want to care for them as best i can until it's time for them to go.... No clue what species they are... but this is a shrimp/snail tank... so.. they are gonna have to go at some point.. They are very active... Does my heavily planted (although young) tank have enough food for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I would give them some crushed flake food for now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonske Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 If you have hard boiled eggs around, you can feed them some egg yolk. I usually take a tiny amount (smaller than a half of a matchstick head), rub it between my fingers and rinse off in the tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garren Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I had the same thing happen. I cultured infusoria but it takes a few days to get it going. Before my infusoria was ready I was feeding them hard boiled egg and Sera fry food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toobit67 Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 Wow.. that hard-boiled yolk really dissolves... they went nuts for it.. i turned off my filter and just let it sit there and Batman and Robin just strafed through it for 10 minutes... there may be hope for these little guys..

Toobit67 Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 It makes a nice little cloud that hangs there for a good while... the particles are mostly too small to see, which I suppose is the whole point. Great advice.. TY guys... 😃 You think a little pinch once a day is enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only had one little guy in the tank and I did a small pinch twice a day. My pinch sizes were about as big as the top of a pen. Did not want to dirty the water to much because I was still cycling the tank. So glad they are doing good!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
