Good morning, everyone. I know I'm getting ahead of myself here, but what does one feed newly hatched tilapia? Thanks Felix |

The food for fry needs to be either live food like zooplankton, brine shrimp or high protein powder of flake food such as is used for trout or salmon fry. We now use a diet from the local cooperative, which is very good for these fish, and seldom do we lose any when this is used. The best food I have used so far is a mixture of dried spirulina and artificial zooplankton. I get if from the local tropical fish cooperative. If none of these are available there are a number of ways to solve the problem of feeding the young tilapia fry. One of the best feeding methods is to take a quart of the same food that you use for the larger tilapia, and soften it in water, add two eggs, 2004 Mike Sipe 38 and then blend it till it is like a soup and mix it with two cups of water that has just been boiled and in which you have mixed one ounce of knox gelatin. You then place the mixture into a bucket, pan or bowl and refrigerate it until needed. When you feed it to the fry you just take a half-teaspoon and drop it into the tank for the first feeding and watch to see if they eat it. They may not eat the first day or two especially if the yolk sac egg is still showing in their own stomachs. Charlie posted a link to Tilapia breeding,this is a paragraph on fry feeding. |
