When to transition babies to other food

[aleseacheson]

I was wondering when is best time to transition my little lotles to other foods? They eat the brine like it is going out of style...2 in the tub have began to get front legs.... I have a tank with daphnia that one is currently residing in and doing well so far....I am at a point where the brine shrimp thing is tedious and hard to keep up with. Any help appreciated! thanks

You can introduce other foods when their mouth is big enough. If you have daphnia you can try them with it, they will just leave the ones that are too big.

Yes I have some in a 10 gallon tank with one baby....I have 2 in my tub I was thinking of putting in there since food was more "available". Thank you! As usual you have great advice

I have a similar question. At what point can they handle live black worms?

Again, they have have blackworms once their mouths are big enough, but like bloodworms you may need to chop them up at first.
