Banggai Cardinal Fry

Taking into account the size of Banggai Cardinal fry when they leave the dad, could I feed them small pellets or flakes

There's an article in this month's Aquarium Fish International about marine breeding and feeding fry. Article says phytoplankton first, then rotifers, then baby brine or artemia shrimp.

The article also advises to have your cultures set up in advance

Good luck!

Well I was wondering that because the fry live in the dads mouth for a while and one has to take care of them when they are older than normal fry, does that mean I can feed it different...

I believe Kelsey does this and feeds them brine right away and doesn’t do any of the rotifers because of there size.

Ok awesome I think they will be fun to try on

On a scale of 1-10, how hard isit to care for benggai fry (1 being no intervention what-so-ever)?

How are you gonna do it? Any other fish in the tank or any pumps/powerheads will kill them.

Im going to set up a small tank and attach it to my current plumbing system.
