So I have been hatching brine for my manderins. I have the hatching down. Fine tuning the collection process. I have a slow feeder for the babys. (Modeled after paul b's) now the next step. Growing them. I bought a 20qt bin, bubbler, air stones, and phytogreen m to feed them. This is my starting process;
2 gals of salt water in bin with bubbler attached to a rock in the center. Lamp set over the water. One hatching of brine babies added. 4 drops of phytogreen a day. Gonna use the air stone and tubing to syphon out and change 1/2gallon of water every sunday. I'm two days in right now. Seems good.
Any advise on my process, what I'm feeding, or how often to feed?

You can also just feed them yeast like you bake with. Put in just enough food to slightly cloud the water once a day. Why do you want to grow them?
 
While the manderins and all my other fish eat and like the babies, i feel they are not much of a meal. I will continue to hatch and feed babies with my slow release feeder. (Thankyou, the socks work perfectly) i would like to feed larger ones as well. Plus i know they will be fed and nutritious unlike store bought adults.

Also do you know if there is any advantage to a specific foods. Yeast, eggyolk, spirulina, phytogreen etc
 
I used to raise them on nothing but yeast which is a very nutritious food. I raised them when I raised seahorses.
