Feeding fry

[30yrs]

Hi every one sorry in advance if this has been covered some were else on the site but i have a breeding pair of Redfin Anthias. i have so far been unable to keep them for more than a week i have now got the babies separated but have no idea what to feed them.
Any suggestions will be gratefully appreciated.

What have you tried? First thing I would try would be s-strain rotifers.

The only thing i have tried is coral food as it's a powder and very small but today i have just given then marine dinner but not thawed out i just held it and rubbed it so tiny pieces came of it and they went mad for it. Fingers crossed this works if not then i will look into rotifers the good part is that mum and dad just keep spiting out babbies every week. I watch them in the evening thrashing around the tank skipping along the service and then diving down to the bottom of the tank and when they do that the next day we have more babies it's awesome even after 30 years of having a marine tank i still get surprised.

I would try everything, rotifers, cyclops, baby brine, copepods, fish eggs, oyster eggs, etc,etc. anything that has a high protein in it. It sounds like the marine dinner they seem to like, try other frozen mixes. Try and feed them at least 4 or more times a day, since they’re perpetually active. Also, if you’re feeding a lot, monitor your water parameters & do appropriate water maintenance, good luck

Thanks for the suggestions, water parameters are good and very stable i feed my tank a small amount 3 time a day 6 days a week 1 day on feeding just to make sure clean up crew are doing there thing but babies are getting 4 feeds daily. I have the babies separated but still in the main tank in a net that hangs in the tank hear's a pic you can see mum & dad down the other end of the tank its not an ideal set up but it's all i have.
