My guppy fry only seem to want to eat the baby brine shrimp I hatch for them. Is it okay for them to be eating only these?
They're two weeks old now and since they were born I've given them baby brine shrimp (live), a paste of water/cooked egg yolk and crushed up flake food (which I've been told is a good brand on various guppy sites). However, the only thing they seem to want is the shrimp. When I put the shrimp into the tank every last one is eaten. Yet, when I put anything else in, they let it sink to the bottom. It's definitely small enough for them. They'll even eat it and spit it back out like they do when I accidently put a few brine shrimp eggs into their tanks. It doesn't bother me...I just want them to be healthy. Is there anything wrong with them only eating the shrimp? Is this common? Will they eat the flakes when they're older like my adult guppies do or have they been spoiled?
