Feeding angel fry with home grown brine shrimp, is there another way?

Question

I have thousands of the little blighters and I am having trouble keeping up with them, I can't hatch the shrimp fast enough. Any suggestions on another way to feed them, apart from using "small fry liquid suspension"? They only eat the food if it is moving, and with the "small fry:", they don't get that.
Do they have to eat "small fry" or is it absorbed into their body? Please help,any suggestions?

Answer 1

Besides brine shrimp, microworms are probably the best choice. There is no catching involved, so they are much easier, and cheaper too if you keep the culture going. This site has some good info- http://mike-edwardes.members.beeb.net/food.html#spirulina
My cousin had good luck sticking his batch in a tank that was covered in algae. They picked at the microscopic things that grow with the algae and got some good plant material, too.
As for LiquiFry (or whatever brand you get), most angel fry will eat it; you may not recognize what they are doing, though. I suppose they could ingest it unintentionally.
If they are not going for the non-moving stuff, then it's not very helpful, but powdered egg yolk is very nutritious (clean tank well of leftovers).
Good luck!

You could try Flake Food, I have used it with good response. Just Crumble it in your hands real fine, they can get it. May need to change 1/4---1/3 of the water every week.

Answer 3

purchase frozen brine shrimp. they arrive in cubes. you in user-friendly terms take one out and pa it interior the tank and because it defrosts the shrimp come off the cube and the fish consume them. not costly and way much less artwork than what your doing now. The shrimp do not come alive yet as they drift they "seem" alive so the fish ought to consume them.

The only luck I had was using the same method you did.
