Dry smallest food for marine fish fry?

[dendro982]

What is the smallest dry food for marine fish fry?
Saltwater analog of the Hikari First Bites.

It's like quarter of the rotifer size, and smaller.
If possible, several names, because of availability difference in US and Canada.

Thanks.
P.S. It's for feeding corals and filter feeding invertebrates

Golden pearls, or some of the otohime milled foods

Brine Shrimp Direct for the Golden Pearls, and Reed Mariculture for the Otohime. Both should be able to ship to Canada.

Thank you!
Only two kinds, nothing else?
Or marine fish fry eat the much bigger food from the start, like rotifers?

Thanks Bill for the source company info

Dendro-most filterfeeding inverts, actually require phytoplanktons (like feather worms, cocoworms), ie they eat plant material not animal proteins. In this regards i would recommend a cryopaste or a glycerol based phyto product (reed mariculture)

Reed sells neither of those but you can get both at Brine Shrimp Direct. We stopped producing what we labelled "cryopste" aka glycerol based back in 2001.

There's a new feed out of Great Britain, Dragonfeeds. It's basically ground-up polychaete worms as a base, plus other stuff. They sent me some to try out. They are producing it in a very wide ranges of sizes, including 0-100 micron size.

I haven't had a chance to try it with larvae, but the broodstock I have seem to like it in the 500 micron size.

Thanks Gresham for the clarification.
I still have old bottles that I use, does Reed Mariculture have a comprable product

 

[GreshamH]

Not really.

That's crazy, when did you pick them up?

 

[dendro982]

Thank you, very informative!

We don't offer any glycerine based freezable product, but we do offer refrigerated phyto paste in both commercial (Instant Algae) and hobbyist strength (Reef Nutrition - Phyto-Feast). You can freeze the Nanno products we sell, but we don't recommend freezing any of the others.

As evident by how long you've had the stuff Frank, it's very concentrated :lol:
