Female spit early

I had my holding female (Ruby Red Peacok)in a net breeder and she spit early. Most fry still have the yoke sack and are on the bottom. I shouldn't begin feeding baby brine until they can swim, correct?

She probably spit early because she had 29 fry!

Nice Ben!

When I strip and they still have yolksacks, I put them in the egg tumbler I got from Charlie (homemade and works awesome). Seeing as how this one is pretty much always full, any other hoppers that I don't want to mix, I usually just stick in a breeder net with a bubble stone going inside. It helps if it's the brand with the fine netting and there's no other fish large enough to pick on the hoppers.

But yeah, no need to feed until the sack is gone.
