Nan's been bought and brought, two new tiny GF that are apparently 7 weeks old and less than an inch long... Now I wont get into the horrors of the tank size and the lack of aeration etc, I can try and sort that gradually with some avice and support towards their care, however she needs some food for them, and I was wondering if there is anything you should try and feed baby GF to help with their immune systems, development etc, that isnt generally contained in flakes?

Thankyou smile.gif

I was thinking the same thing. Right now I'm feeding my two baby red caps bloodworms for good wen development. I also feed them spirulina tablets and fresh vegetables or fruit. I know that it's important to feed them a varied diet.

oo thanks athena, some good suggestions! I dont know what spirulina tablets are? I have some blood worms I can take tho..and I can suggest she does them some veg mush occasionally too...and crumbles them flakes ALOT!

They're a type of dark, green algae that's loaded with good stuff!
