Chris,
You could try just the baby brine shrimp. I found out that there is MSG(monosodium glutimate) in the Hikari baby food. I don't know if there's a parallel, but I don't like what MSG does to me. That feeding schedule is good. At around 4 weeks of age or so, I cut it down to once a day (personal choice). Just make sure you keep up the water changes. The bigger they get, the more waste they produce. :wink:

Ok, Amanda!

I'll do that! Thanks! :)

RiC, I think I'll wait just a little longer to offer the shrimp pellets, but thanks for your suggestion! :wink:

I guess you could start selling/donating them to good homes around 1" in length (TL). Then they are big enough to withstand a bit of physical and mental torture that moving them from one tank to another would incur.

Thank you guys!!

I'll definetely just give them away. I don't feel comfortable selling my fish. As long as they go to a good home, I'll be fine.
I'm going to miss them though... I'll probably keep just one, this little guy, I think he was the "runt". My bf named him "Shrimpy", so it''s "shrimpy this", "shrimpy that"... I can't let him go :roll:
