Fine Food for Easy Fry Feeding

The small particle size and semi-floating characteristics of Hikari Tropical First Bites make it easier for fry to find and consume the food.

Because young fish may feed at different levels of the aquarium, the food’s movement through the water can help make feeding more accessible to fry that prefer surface, mid-water, or lower-level feeding.

For fry that primarily feed lower in the water column, the food can be prepared with a small amount of aquarium water before feeding to help it sink.

Feeding Instructions

Feed small amounts several times per day rather than providing one large feeding.

General Feeding

• Feed an amount your fry can consume within approximately 1–3 minutes.
• Feed up to 4 times per day.
• Adjust the quantity according to the number and size of fry.
• Avoid overfeeding, as excess food can negatively affect aquarium water quality.

Mid-Water & Bottom-Feeding Fry

For fry that feed lower in the aquarium, soak the food in a small amount of aquarium water before feeding. This can help the particles sink more quickly and become easier for lower-level fry to access.

Livebearer Fry

Newborn livebearer fry, including guppies, mollies, platies, and swordtails, can be offered appropriately sized First Bites food after birth.

Egg-Laying Fish Fry

For egg-laying species, begin introducing suitable fry food around the time the young fish have absorbed their yolk sacs and are ready to feed externally.
