Hey - we have Zebrafish babies at work (will post pictures and videos later).
Thy just hatched and we're keeping them in the baby tank.

What do we feed them - we have 2 well-established tanks at work, so I'm just thinking adding some tank water might help, right? It's supposed to contain paramecia and stuff.
And how long do I keep feeding them "water"? When do I start brine shrimp, cuz we have 4 brine shrimp hatcheries set up as well.
:help:

I assume your talking about Zebra Danio fry, green water for a week or 2, microworms, then bbs. Adding some java moss will help provide food for the first week or so

That's what I thought - I did add some Java mss from the guppy tank that we have at work. Cool then! I'm on the right track.
