Did you get it? And did they eat it? **Q: I bought this by mistake can I feed it to adult fish too??** A: It is a fine powder, most adult fish would ignore it and it would just pollute your water column.. **Q: can you feed this to newly hatched brine shrimp?? if not what do I feed them?** A: I wouldnt,, I feed them spirallina ((SP?) powder and sometimes yeast **Q: can this be used for newborn baby betta fishes? is it instant or needs to be hatched like baby brine shrimp** A: This product can certainly be used for newborn bettas. Any new fry will take to this food. It is a very finely ground fish food, with a consistency kind of like flour. I use it for new born guppies. After about a week old, I can wean them to regular flake food if I first "grind" the flakes between my fingers. This is a prepared dry food and doesn't require further processing. It's ready to feed right out of the pouch. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great food for newborn fish. *by B***H on April 13, 2026* Just what I needed. Baby fish arrived.
