It is possible to raise a few of the fry (1-10) using newly hatched San Francisco strain brine shrimp. The San Francisco strain is smaller than the Great Salt Lake variety and a very small number of your fry will be big enough to eat them as a first food.
Here are a couple things you should know.
1. You have to hatch new brine shrimp everyday. In 18-24 hours they are already too big for the fry to eat.
2. You will need to try to net out as many of the uneaten brine shrimp as you can before every new feeding or you will end up raising brine shrimp instead of clownfish.
Once the babies start eating the brine shrimp, they can be weaned onto non-living, more nutritional foods fairly quickly.
Getting the fry to eat non-living foods right from the start has been very difficult for most of us.
