Fry aren't eating

by freshwaterpleco

My convicts just had eggs and the babies are grazing above the tank for about an hour a day. I don't know if they ate there yolk sak yet.I only see about 3 of them every day. Is this the right time to start feeding them

you could try giving them like an shrimp pellet or some kind of sinking pellet... have you tried the crushed flake food...???

i have also used egg yolk! boil an egg and then press the hard yolk in a cloth until it comes through! dip the yolk into the tank to make a cloud of protein. they should enjoy this as it is easier for them to take than solid or live foods which may take too much energy to eat! I use egg yolk with all my fry and it is a great success. hope this helps!!!!!
