WORMS
Many different kinds
Worms are are unparelled in conditioning
fish for breeding. There are many types that can be
cultured, from ones small enough to feed fry to
ones far too large for all but full grown monster
killies.

|
INFUSORIA
The best food for fry
Most, nearly all, killies can take freshly hatched brine
shrimp after hatching, but a few require infusioria, which,
fortunalty, is very easy to culture.

|
DAPHNIA
A long time favorite
There are a half dozen species of daphnia that are
cultured. Some people find they very easy to culture
while they give others fits.

ROTIFERS
Instead of BBS
Rotifers are bigger than Paramecium but are cultured the same way and are a wondefull substitute for the ever costier staple baby brine shrimp.
|
|
MOINA
Similar to daphnia
Culture of Moina is the same as Daphnia, but there are a few advantages to Moina.
|
|
FLIES
Wingless fruit flies
It can possibly be argued that worms and flies constitute a near perfect diet for most killifish and neither are hard to raise.

|
SHRIMP
Feshly hatched brine shrimp
WHen brine shrimp eggs are hatched and fed within four hours your fish enjoy the nutrients intended to keep the baby shrimp alive - the yolk sac. There is no better food for fry, but freshly hatched means freshly hatched.
