Had my first cory aeneus spawn last week. the fry are growing fast and i was wondering if baby brine is already too small for them?

Tomr,

You should continue to feed the baby brine but add other foods. I would supplement with a sinking tablet. I sometimes use microworms or another cultured worm. Do you have them available to you. By the way I feed live baby brine to my adult Cory's, they all really enjoy them.

I've had success with Hikari Firstbites as well as baby brine. I put some of the powder in a small cup of tank water, wait for it to sink to the bottom of the cup, then I suck it up with a syringe and gently squirt it on the substrate in the fry tank. They love it.

Really the only thing you have to worry about is overfeeding so that the remaining food rots and starts to grow all kinds of fungi, which in turn can kill the little guys.
