feeding fry

Question
Two of my fish had babies recently (a mollie and a platy). I've been feeding the babies some baby fish food. How often should I feed them? The package says as much as they'll eat in 2-3 minutes, but I'm wondering how many times per day.

Answer
Hi,
It is best to feed a small amount of food about five times per day. To give them some variety you can feed them some crushed flake. Soak this for a few minutes before feeding as to not cause any blockages or digestive problems.

Hope this helps
