The egg yolk sacs are what make BBS nutritious, so it is important to have the BS hatch just before feeding them to the fry.
Once the fry get a lot bigger, you can keep your BS longer and gutload them with Selco or Selcon. Doing so any earlier is a waste, ime.
Good luck with the remaining fry  |
IMO, the selcon does coat the BBS even though they don't eat it, so the baby horsies are getting some of the selcon into their systems. Its not the greatest system but not a complete loss and any extra you can get into the babies definitely benefits them down the road.
