You want to feed your platies egg yolk??????
IMO I don't know if that's safe, but alternative foods would be baby brine shrimp, artemia, or daphnia for baby fry.

Boiled egg yolk is sometimes used as a substitute for powdered fry food, I don't really suggest it because it can foul up the water pretty quickly. Boil the egg, separate the yolk and then mash it, add it to the tank with a toothpick so you don't overdo it.

Thanks didn't know it was substute was currently feeding crushed up flakes. After done with yolk no more will stick with powdered flakes most likely once I go to fish store will get other fry foods. Have cichlid pellets that have shrimp in it crush it up and feed? Jetajockey you sell shrimp?

Yeah I sell rcs, but not shipping anywhere cold because I don't have any heat packs.
For fry food my favorite microworms, simple to culture and harvest.

I'm in florida. Microworms can be purchased for a few bucks online. I usually send out a large starter culture with fresh media on request for 5 dollars. There's some cheaper ones out there but its usually sent in a letter envelope so it takes a lot longer to get established.
