Guess many different ways to do this. I’m hatching in this.Attachment 136378. They hatch in around 24hrs and seem to live for about 3 days. Right now I’ve got 2 of those hatched. Tomorrow I will try to refrigerate some. The shrimp go to where I aim the light. The shells seem to float to the top shrimp under.
How do you store the brine in the fridge? Do you put it in some fresh water? Just leave it in the net?
Tom,

You can grind your fdbw in a coffee grinder. Then soak a few minutes and use a turkey baster to feed just like when feeding bbs. .. grind to the size the fry can eat.
My .8mm discus chow fry starter, discus chow 1mm, and Diskus Gold 1mm are fine for raising fry to adult. Its what I do here.

Lol Chuck! Salt and water! Yep I’ve got to think these thing through :). I thought we were rinsing off the salt not bad bacteria. Couldn’t figure why we’d want to put them in salt again. Found a video last night and did it. Thanks!!
Al yes I’d read about the coffee grinder set up. Just making sure. And I will order some baby food. Thanks!!
I been giving you answers that I can wile I am in pain. Tuesday nights thunder storm one of my dogs bit the tip off my right hand index finger. Ouch that hurt, hopefully the pain killers did not cloud my thoughts. I would post a pic's but to bloody.
[QUOTE=Iminit;1376768]Lol cone is gone!! Not giving them any ideas lol. Ok not a fan of beef heart. Will freeze dried black worms work? If not what else or should I buy frozen beef heart. If so what brand?
Freeze dried blood worms will work but I would leave them with the parents for 3 weeks before you remove them and feed them black worms or anything else.
OMG! Sorry about your hand! Was it the dog that was here? And thanks for all the info!!
No plan of moving them. Just getting things ready :). Will introduce the black worms with the bbs in hopes that they eat both.
No we always keep him home he is known bite, but got to love him. This is not the first time he bit me he is a little nuts and he is on prozac. This is the worst bite so far no more petting the beast.
