Do It Yourself Artificially Reared Discus Fry Food

*for about two days after they’ve fallen/swam off spawn site and begin to swim towards the top of enclosure

Ingredients/Supplies:

• Raw Egg Yolk
• Hard Boiled Egg Yolk
• Spirulina Powder
• Newly Hatched Baby Brine Shrimp (can do away with this, but babies will defin. Do better with it)
• Paper Towel

Directions:

1. Mix Equal Proportions of Raw & Hard Boiled Egg Yolk Together until it creates a “gluey” paste
2. Add enough Spirulina Powder to the mix to create a light yellow-green color to the mix (if too much is added the paste will lose its stickiness
3. Form into Flat Patty and place in freezer bag & stick the mix into the freezer
Feeding:
1. Thaw enough for feeding on a paper towel
2. Remove a small amount on newly hatched brine shrimp from their hatchery using brine shrimp net
3. While in the net rinse the newly hatched shrimp and while STILL in the net remove as much water from them as you can using a paper towel
4. Add just enough brine to the now thawed food to allow it to remain somewhat sticky, this way you can “paste” or “smear” the food onto the side of their enclosure (which is typically a one gallon bowl with a OPEN airline tube that is creating a gentle surface disturbance).
