Suprize Fry...What to feed?
 
A couple weeks ago I emptied a 29g biocube of everything but the sand, rock rubble and water, I left the pump running and unplugged the heater skimmer and lights. Last night I went to shut it down and clean it, when I looked in the tank I saw about 50 small fry swimming around...the only pair I had in there were a couple clowns. I have never bothered keeping any fry in any of my other tanks as they usually became food once they started swimming, since there is no other occupants in this tank I may just try to grow out these guys but my big question is...

What should I feed these guys, I'm sure they are more than likely finnished (2wks) with their sacks?

TIA.

Depending on their age;

week 1 they are still attached to the rock they are spawned on, no food.

week 2, small black/grey fry, use rotifers

week 3, starting to look like clownfish, use rotifers + baby brime.

week 4, start dry foods.

if you need any Brian, I have lots at home.

I know it sounds crazy but I saw a thread where a guy claimed he got fry going by feeding Reefroids. I forget where I saw that thread. Worth a shot if you have reefroids around.
