how do you feed newborn fish?

Answer 1

you can buy a tube of liquid fry food at the pet store, but it clouds the water. You can finely grind up flake food, but that should not be the whole of thier diet, you can supplement with live baby brine shrimp, or creamed eggyolk. I even feed my fry spirutein protein powder (for smoothies) & they love it...they should be fed very small ammounts 3-5 times a day (baby guppies & baby zebra danio)

Answer 2

I agree with Infusoria. I make mine by putting old bannana peels as soon as I see eggs in a jar of water and close it, not tight, I think 3 days. THey will survive with out food for a while, since they still have a yolk sac. Just drop some with an eyedrop to fed the fish. I also try to grow daphnia too to feed them. When they are older I just crumble fish food. I have a pond, so I don't have to take good care of them. DIrty pond water has plenty of food.

Answer 3

You can purchase special food for fry. An easy way to feed them is to collect the fish food dust on the inside of the food container on the tip of your finger and sprinkle on the water. Or like the other answer says crush regular fish flakes until like dust.

Answer 4

Depends on the type of newborn fish (in other words how big are they). Tiny fish need tiny food (there is a commerical food for fry). However if you have baby cichlids from one of the mouth brooding types, they are big enough to eat crushed flake food or "graze" off pellets.

Answer 5

When the fish hatch they are actually self reliant I would suggest isolating them from the fish population as most will eat them usually Ill put my female in an isolated breeders box (Its clear plastic sits in the tank but they dont get out others dont gt in) once she has the babies I remove her and crumble fish food up small dropping it into the water, they seem to do just fine, they will also eat remnants off plants and gravel its a matter of protectibg them from the larger fish

Answer 6

I have baby molly fish and I finely crumble the adult flake food and feed them 3 times a day.

Answer 7

brine shrimp. thats all you need well except for the right water temp, clean water. you can get brine shrimp at any pet store frozen or eggs to hatch your self their really easy to hatch. if you dont feed them right or keep them at the right temp you will stunt their growth hope this helps remember brine shrimp is the best oh yeah feed them three to five times a day just dont cloud the water with too much

Answer 8

You want to feed them gust like the other fish but only once a day.If you feed them to many time the water will get cloudier and the fish will pass a way.

Answer 9

It really depends on what kind you have. Very small babies need infusoria, larger one's can start off with baby brine shrimp. It depends on the species of fish you breed.
