Go to your LFS and ask for "Liquifry". It comes in a "flavor" for
egg-layers and live-bearers. I've also heard of, but never tried,
people using hard-boiled egg-yolks.

Hiya

I am raising a young platy and two small, four day old guppies. I was
wondering what I should feed them, some people say I should give give
them minutely crushed flakes, then others say I should give them live
foods like daphina, infusoria and brine shrimp. They have been eating
the algae in the tank and they seem fine, but should I change their
diet to infusoria and brine shrimps as well as the flakes? If so, how
would I make, prepare and give these foods to my fish? (Unfortunalty
none of the pet shops in my city carry daphina so that sorta rules
that out)

Thanks

the best is live baby brine shrimps.

frozen baby brine shrimps are pretty good too.

liquidfry and egg yolk are next up.

then lastly is super crushed flakes. the best advantage to feeding them
this from the start is that you will weed out the fussy eaters from the
simple process of natural selection.

I've got 8 betta's (from an initial batch of 500+) that I fed liquidfry and
crushed flakes from hatching, and these guys are not fussy whatsoever from
what I put into the tank. They eat anything from flakes, pea segments,
corn, finely-chopped spinach/lettuce, freeze-dried bloodworms/shrimps/krill,
to ants/flies/cricket_legs.

I just had about 20 platy fry born and this is what i do:
1.Put a lettuce leaf in jar
2.cover with boiling hot water
3.put on a warm window and leave for a few days until water turns a milky
white colour.
4.use a turkey baster to squirt the milky coloured water into the tank.
