Multie fry

[stevenht]

Just got some new fry the other day. Any suggestions on how to feed them? I've seen people say moss balls. I usually feed the adults crushed up cichlid pellets. I have frozen bbs, blood worms, beef hearts, and vegetable tablet things.

I would offer the frozen BBS with whatever the parents eat.
Likely they will heard the fry around while eating so the BBS will be found easier .
I think multis will crush up what they eat to offer their young micro sized food also.
Good luck and congrats !

Really? That's interesting. I've never heard of fish prepping food for their young as birds do. That would be neat to watch.

I haven't seen them herd around the fry and discovered another set of fry last night. So it's going to be crazy in the tank soon. The moms are guarding them heavily but no other activity so far.
