Methyblu should be used for eggs and dosed according th the label directions. The blu should be removed when the eggs hatch as it is harmful to fry.

You can feed bbs/micro worms or you can use powdered FD brine and cyclop-eeze. The fry should be fed 4-6 times/day and it is very important to vac the uneaten food from the tank 15-30 minutes after each feeding. Use an airline with a rigid tube on the end as a vac and be sure to vac into a bucket so you can recover the fry you will inevitably suck up (a turkey baster is good for getting the fry out of the bucket).

You should change 10% of the water daily- this may be accomplished during the vacuuming but if not, remove more water to make 10%.

Be sure you do not have them in too big of a tank as it can make it harder for the fry to find the food.
