I am about to have my third batch of bangaii fry next week and i would like to get my 3month old batch and 1.5month old batch to eat frozen or flake food any suggestions. they have only been eating live baby brine.
getting bangaii fry to eat frozen
- Thread starter bangaii man
- Start date
I start switching to frozen by using frozen prawn eggs. They go nuts for them. After a couple weeks of those, I start mixing in frozen cyclops for a couple more weeks. Then start using a cheese grater on mysis and feed them that. Once they switch to mysis feed them that till they are big enough to take the full mysis. I have never had good luck getting them to eat pellets or flake.

try weaning the fry early, right after hatch. substitute one feeding per day instead of always giving them artemia. gradually feed less and less artemia, they should be weaned by 30 days. what are you doing with your bangaiis? if you ship or are in socal, I am interested in purchasing some...

I don't know what to do with the fry. I could probally ship but I am in CT and it might not be cost effective for you. I am not an official breeder, I have a 180 mix reef tank with 5 Bangaii, and after I realized one had a mouthfull of eggs, I could not just let them be food for the other fish, so I set up a small 10G tank, pulled out the fish until he released them all, then put him back. And it looks like this will be happening every 6 weeks or so. I have 10 from the end of december and only 6 from mid february. What size would you like them to be?
not much to add here, i used to use the ever decreasing amount of artemia w/ increasing amounts of shaved shrimp over a 2-3 week period, usually after day 15
People like fish roe and prawn eggs and the banggers (my word for baby banggais) love the eggs. Also cyclopeeze seems to work well

ya, im afraid it might be too much of a hassle for you, especially since they need to packed with pure oxygen. I could send you all the shipping materials if your really interested, i'll pay 25$ a fish.
reed mariculture imports a weaning diet from Japan called otohime, also works well, fish are very attracted to it. sprinkle some on the surface, or mix with water to sink it faster. mix it in with the artemia when you feed it, to get them used to it.
