What to feed baby clowns after rotifers?

[GregDoug]

I have been debating on food for clowns after the week mark, when rotifers are too small for them. I know most books say to do BBS but some say crushed flake foods or cyclopze.
My current baby batch is three weeks old, still has rotifers (I co-culture so the water is green still and the rotifers are still breeding) and I have been putting cyclopze in once per day for the past week and using flake food as a try today. I have yet to see them eat anything but rotifers. I was going to try BBS but the old eggs didnt hatch and I skipped them. BBS are sort of a pain for me to hatch, simply because I do not enjoy it. Is it okay to skip the BBS stage of feeding for other foods?

What do you think is the best and easiest second food?

Enriched artemia naupli.

So BBS enriched with selco?
I was going to try NHBBS but I was not going to enrich them, do you mean to enrich them if they are older than a day old?

Enrich after 12 hours. They lose nearly all nutritional value once the yolk sac is gone and they molt.
