Thanks guys.
I have to admit that the fry surprised me with early swimming. Bernd's developed days later, started eating at 9 days. Mine swan free on the evening of day 5. I had just started a brine shrimp culture the night before. Last night I added another bottle and placed the bottles in a heated spare 10 gal tank to speed up hatching. I'll go to my fish room shortly to see what hatched.
I offered powdered fry food (Hikari) and shredded adult frozen brine shrimp last night, but they didn't take anything. Maybe it was still too early for them to eat, most still had a little residual yolk sac.
Stay tuned.
