But the food required for fry (baby fish) has to be prepared by you at home, as the fish food available at pet shop is not suitable for fry. Their mouth is too small and they may not be able to eat even the smallest particle of the food available at store. That is why we have to prepare it our self.

These symptoms can only be recognized by close and regular watching of your fish.
