L010a babies not feeding 3 days after hatch.

So I finally got my L010a pair to have a successful breed. Unfortunately the babies just wont eat the food i prepare. So far I've done newly hatched BBS live, frozen. Are there any recommendations to prepare food instantly for them to eat? Otherwise I think they'll starve to death today.

i could only get mine to eat in very shallow water with no flow. about one inch. they would eat live baby brine and micro worms. i also could not get them to live foor more than 10-12 days. i have had 6-7 spawns and no survivors.the last few times they did die with fuller stomachs???????

Great news, the babies started to eat. It required a bit of guidance and a nudge to the food. I stuck to feeding live brine shrimp that were kept in the fridge, then shining an led light over the top the frys would start to look for food.

heres a video.
