Anyone tried adding java moss to Discus fry? Is java moss too big for the fry mouth?

I currently have 1 big batch of fry breed from my community tank. The only way is to seperate the fry and the parents. hoping to rise them with the min effort. I done my research- i know about using egg yolk and sac as the first food. i wish to try alternate methods. Any advice?

Cheers

whats the role of the java moss???

You'll have good luck if you use newly hatched BBS sifted through an old T shirt to strain out all but the tinest shrimp.

if you can feed them that 3x a day till they reach 2 weeks old you'll be ok

Once they get to about 2 weeks old you can get them feeding off a sponge filter sponge and some very finely grated beefheart (filter tries to suck up the beefheart and the tiny pices stick to the outside where they fry can graze on them.

THERE IS NO MIN EFFORT WAY TO RAISE DISCUS FRY!!!!
