Does anybody have any experience with raising Hypancistrus fry? I've got a
batch of fry, having reach this development stage:

When would they get interested in food? I'm a bit worried about them not
showing any interest in food at this stage. Should I be?

I have daphnia living in their tank but I drip a few defrosted cyclops in
three or four times a day as well as BBS. I also find tetra prima - one
granule at a time - gets eaten. Mine are in planted tanks with algae &
hopefully there are some edibles naturally present.
They grow excruciating slowly.

Thanks Sue.

They have started eating now, so hopefully all will end well :)
