it is known as decapsulated baby brine shrimp which had the outer egg casing. just simply soak the eggs in some tank water for 20 minutes until they are hydrated, and then feed them to your fry

All my fries are 2 mm in size, about 20 plus spotted, I'm going to remove 10 pieces out to another small tank. Reason is my current tank is less than 1.5 ft, n I doubt de male will allow tat much to be in de tank.
