Anyone know if feeding BBS to fry would be okay? If not, then I need to set up a hatchery. Thanks!

carefull with the paradise fry, the BBS from what i remember may be bigger and could munch on the fry. thats like seeing a humansized lobster, you wouldn't wanna mess with them. after a few weeks i think they should be big enough to eat em.

the frozen and thawed BBS will eat the paradise fry, huh?

Nope the live, hatched ones may at this stage in their life, you'll have to wait a bit until they get a little larger to feed them live

I've used BBS for fry & they love it.

If you don't want to mess with hatching and all the mess that comes with it, you may want to consider switching them to Golden Pearls after a week or so.

If you've not heard of them - they're FANTASIC! Little orange dots made from all kinds of great fresh ingredients (including BBS) that hang in the water column and 'dance' like live food. It's much cleaner & easier.

Make sure to buy the smallest ones for fry! I highly recommend them. In fact, I still feed them occasionally to my juvenile angels. They love it. In fact, i need to place a new order.

I've heard of those. I know of a few people who use those for betta fry. Wish I could get some locally.
