how small a pond is it?

fry are very touchy about water quality. you need to check ammonia,nitrites AND
nitrates. if you start to see dead fry it may indicate water quality is going. dont
feed anything extra until you have checked water quality.

mosquito larvae are food for fish, but fish fry are food for dragon fly larvae, so
keep a close eye out for that.

Hi Ingrid
Yes the water is green & so far they seem to have grown ?maybe the tiniest
bit, they are SO small it's hard to tell.
I don't have a UV, they are just in the small backyard pond.
There doesn't seem to be any large life in there such as mosquitoes or any
other life forms.
So when do I need to start feeding them & what should it be?
Thanks

Pat
