Agree with you...live boon easier than hatching BBS....hehehe

Many thanks for yr kind words bud! With easy available 'live' food, breeding fishes so much easier tbh.

Bud, boon is live daphnias. You can get it in many places, namely Bedok North/Yishun/SungeiTengeh/Serangoon/etc. Better to feed 'live' food for first month...casualty will be minimum and growth super fast. Hope it helps.

Thanks again Kiang.

Boon is also known as daphnia or water fleas. It is fresh water. There are shops selling like wat bro brichardi says. One packet only 1 dollar. But usually these will last for only 2 days then you have to buy again. Call the shops to check first before going down so as not to make a wasted trip.

Please do not pour the whole packet in bcos it will pollute the water. Pour into a container first then let it settle down. After 30 mins, the live boon will be swimming at the surface of the container whereas the dead ones will be at the bottom, then take an air tube and suck out the live ones into another container. You may top up the water in the container with your fish tank water. Then feed generously to your fries. Pls throw away after two days bcos it will be foul smelling, then time to buy a new packet and start the process again. Once you see your fries with big orange bellies, then you know your fries have eaten the boon.

Feed boon for about 10 to 15 days then you may proceed to finely cut tubifex worms after that. Voila!!!...your angel fries will grow super super fast.

Thanks bud. Yes they're super fertile......If I remove the eggs after spawning, they will spawn again in 11 days time (+/- 1 day). But if I let them take care of fries for abit, they will prolly spawn in 14~20 days time. I will not take out fries and let them spawn again....with fries swimming around the eggs so can take pic and share with you all......soon....in another few days time imo.

True. But I used the dead ones to feed bigger fries and the live ones new fries. ....as not enough usually....hence I collect my Boon every Monday/Wednesday/Friday (pre-order) without fail.
