MickS77 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I like feeding Sera Micron and Hikari First Bites. It only takes small dusting on the water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errk25 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 What about Aquarium Co-op Fry food? Would that be fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantlumberjack Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) Never had these kind of frys but i assume they follow the usual fry feeding procedure. Boiled egg yokes? Edited August 23, 2020 by giantlumberjack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that be fine? I love Aquarium Coop fry food and feed it all the time. Sera Micron and Hikari First Bites are even smaller however, essentially dust powder. So it depends on the fry size. Most fry can take AC fry food pretty quick as can lots of nano fish. So its great if you have a mix of fry and small adults. I feed it alot to my Endler colonies.

And any recommendation on type of food?   If this is in an outdoor pond there is probably lots of natural infusoria available for the fry to eat. I supplement that with newly hatched live baby brine shrimp. I also like Sera Micron to dust the surface for the fry. Just a tiny bit will do especially for only one little critter. But chances are that if you've got one you will get more. You may think about separating the fry from the adult rice fish as they do make snacks of the tiny fry. The Co-op fry food makes a great second food for growing out the fry once they put on a little size, it is really easy to feed also. Plus the adult ricefish will take it too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Perry Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I've used Golden pearls, but as Dean said there's probably lots of live food if it's a pond. I rarely feed my 330g Ibc totes and they are full of guppies and rainbows. I don't filter or arrate either, just floating plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylee Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I have 3 newly hatched ricefish fry today, I was wondering the same thing, and do I need to feed them the first day/how long will the egg sack last? I have aquarium co-op fry food on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisnobody Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Agreed with everything stated above. I’ll add that I also treat my ricefish to hikari (saki) ricefish formula for fry and also a different formula for breeding adults. I’ve had mine shipped from Japan and shipping wasn’t too bad. Try eBay if interested. The packaging is ridiculously cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
