Vinegar
eels are a GREAT easy to raise first food for many fish fry including Betta’s, killifish, and all small fish & shrimp.
These guys are SUPER easy to culture,
and raise so you always have live food available for your newborn fish,
vinegar eels offer maximum nutrition, and will survive in your tank for many days, allowing your fry to actually hunt them, as they would have to do
in nature.
As they wiggle around in the water column, they trigger the fish/ Fry natural hunting instinct, which you don't get from flake or frozen foods, and often fish can die, as a result, as they don't always realise those products are food.
All you need is a wine bottle, or larger bottle.
Cut up some Apple just pieces enough to cover the bottom
Fill half the bottle with apple cider vinegar
Then rest with water, ideally rain water, or dechlorinated tap water.
(I have topped up with tap water when needed, and the culture has been fine.
Then add your culture.
The water rises to the top, and soon you will see hundreds then thousands of ting wriggling worms.
This culture will last months if not years, and so much better for your fishy friends as natural and not processed.
Just use perpet to get them out, as they collect at the top of the bottle, so this is very easy to do.
Please Note I post Tuesdays and Fridays and away till 7th Jan.
