Not exactly sure if this is the right spot to post this so forgive me if it's not.
My A. cacatuoides pair had their first spawn about two weeks ago. I noticed the fry free swimming a week ago. There were maybe 40-50 the first day but as of today at the one week mark, theres maybe 10-15 I can see. I think this is because I only offered very fine, crushed up flake food and cichlid pellets. I wasn't exactly prepared for the spawn so I don't have any BBS ready which I'll be getting the eggs whenever they get shipped. I do have access to a microworm culture but I'm curious if microworms are too big to feed newborn apisto fry?
TL;DR: Are microworms too big for newly born apisto fry?
