Foods for baby fronts

[BeefyG]

I've got the four and I'm picking up 10 more. I'm thinking about buying a couple extra for just in case. That will give me 16 total if they all make it.

That should be perfect...Mike did a pretty good job watching the behavior of my young Burundi and I think I have a good ratio of females...Down the road once our colonies mature we may be able to trade or something...Best of luck man...mine are already looking nice with some of my males around 5" already...

Im completly sold on nls thera a i also add a spirulina based pellet to mine recently pick some kens sticks up from haw for a treat i feed krill 1 to 2 x per week

15 is a good starting number

Once your colony starts developing and you are wanting to develop a breeding group maybe you me and mike can work something out.

Why not ask Mike and Ron what they feed theirs for optimal growth? I know that they aren't picky, and what you mentioned sounds fine.

From the time my F1 moba fry's egg sacs are absorbed to about 2 1/2" - 2 3/4", I feed NLS Thera A in the smallest .5mm size. I feed them 1x daily. Sometimes I release them into the main 180g tank with my wc moba colony after 2 3/4". They get what the rest of my colony gets to eat:

-NLS Thera A 3mm size
-Dainichi Ultima
-Dainichi Supreme
-Dainichi Color FX

I mix all these sinking pellets together in a bowl and put them in a rubbermaid airtight container that I keep in my refrigerator. I buy in bulk so I freeze the rest in zip lock freezer bags. I double bag the foods as well.

I feed my juvies and adults 1x daily and sometimes skip a day or 2 during the week. If a wc moba momma is holding eggs (I have 1 holding right now) I don't feed the whole tank for 5 days.

I will also feed Hikari frozen krill and mysis every 2 weeks or so.

Give them good clean water. I do a 50% water change weekly.

Hope this helps you and others here. Congrats on the new babies.

Thanks Ron for that info as I was kind of curious myself as to what you fed your fronts...

Picking them up today!

Oh and the seller is already feeding them NLS so I'm just going to add crushed Ken's Tropheus Lovers Flake to that.

Congrats man...be sure to post picks...

Can I keep N. Multis with them if I use a bunch of shells and holey rock? Or will they eventually all get picked off. I'm thinning out my multis right now but the leftovers are either going in with the fronts or I'll sell all of them off. Not sure which. I want to try to put them in with the fronts but its a stupid move if its a sure loss.
