Jamie,
Are you able to buy *baby* brine shrimp? Do you have any stores that
sell it?
Also, have you seen the fry actually eating this powdered food?
Can you see their little bellies, of so describe to me what they look
like.
I'm also curious about this net breeder. I've never seen any that had a
small enough mesh to keep Betta fry inside it. Not saying there isn't,
just that I've never seen one myself, and I'm quite curious.
Sad that the microworm culture died off. How were you keeping it?
Lastly, if you have a digital camera, is it possible to take a couple
shots of these fry?
