Red face Feeding juvenile endies

Hi all~ Just wondering if anyone has good recommendations for feeding baby endies about 1.5-3inches.

Placing them in a breeder box, I had been mixing equal amount of Hikari lionhead and water and make mini 'fish flakes' for them and they like it but dirty the water very fast. Eat 70%, 30% dissovle already.

Any other food to recommend that isn't too messy?

I think MP is still convenient because its dead, and save trouble going to LFS if you stay far from LFS. =)

Bro BettaCloud, if the fish don't choose to eat the mp you have to clear it or else it stinks the water not only dirty the water.

tried finely cut mp... with every bite there is a cloudy of prawny maddness ... hahaha. but they love it just as much as the pellets. which is good i suppose.

Thanks bros for the advices. Maybe I will get some ikan bilis and try .... finely cut too and washed... it will be less fluff but it smells stronger if not cleared fast

Bro u can try washing it after cutting it finely. The prawn madness will be greatly reduced. Wash like 5 to 6 times after cutting it.
