fry of some of our native species will only eat moving food. The microworms and vinegar eels can keep them going for a week or two, until they're large enough for baby brine shrimp.

Thanks, wondered if it could be something of interest to me.

I personally don't feed microworms or vinegar-worms as they don't give
progress to the fry but just keep them busy.

I use artificial fluid food and have way better results from that.
