I really appreciate all the ideas. I used to buy 0.5 mm pellets and grind them down but they seemed to last forever and they go beyond the best before date as fry soon move on 1 mm and eat that size longer so I don't buy the 0.5 anymore. It just takes a little longer to pound out the 1 mm.
I had a fishkeeping friend over for dinner yesterday and the topic came up and he also mentioned the egg yolk thing - something he used back in the '60s. My three week old (post spawn) peacock fry have been eating the 1 mm NorthFin for the last 3 days (pulverized with a rolling pin for 5 minutes). It yielded about 15 ml of powder and teeny teeny pellets which should do them for awhile.
Had they not been able to eat the powder I might have tried the egg. It just sounds messier though.
