I couldnt get mine to eat Hikari Micropellets! (go figure..)
Best foods ive found is small frozen bloodworm and ‘tiny fish food’ which i purchased from snailshop.
Raised fry on liquifry followed by powerdered golden pearl.
Ive used sponge filters in the past for my fry tank, but how do you get round the mechanical filtration side of thing? I think what im really trying to do is avoid putting my hands in the tank too much as it stresses them out.
