: I spawned Corydorous aeneus, which might be what you have.

: It's a bit subjective, and also depends on the popularity of the

: Someone with more experience should advise you. You will need a
: source of food (decaying plant matter = infusoria, frozen bbs,
: freshly hatched bbs, tube fry food, powder fry food, boiled egg
: yolk etc), and a lower water level for a while.
: How about liquifry and powdered flake? My LFS doesn't know what

: Powdered flake would not be my first choice. Too large,
: inconsistent and swells after it gets wet, which for fry could be
: disasterous. Liquidfry for egglayers (there are 2 types) should be
: fine, once you have figured out how to get the food to the fry (use
: a long pipe to direct the food). Rick can confirm, but feeding
: should not start until the fry have consumed their eggsacs and
: start becoming mobile. That's in 2 days at 77F (?).
