    You could give them crumbed boiled egg yolk.

    Best is Micro Worm or insoforia, insoforia you take some lettuce and water and let it sit in the sun for a week or so. Maybe post a wanted thread regarding the MW maybe some one close by can help you out. Boiled egg yolk will also do the job if you do not manage to get
    MW or insoforia going. Just a word of caution, you need to get the yolk as fine as possible and vacuum up any uneaten yolk as it polutes/clouds the water. The fry will only start to eat two days after hatching as they still feed on their yolk sacks. Good luck

    Hi,

    I have quite successfully used Liquifry no.1 for the first 2 days then I started supplementing with Ocean Nutrition's Betta Starter. From day 5-7 they are big enough for newly hatched Brine shrimp so this gives you time to set up a brine shrimp hatchery!!

    Post pics of mom and dad so we know what to look forward to!!
