Why is it important to feed live feed to fry and larva?

• The fry/larva's mouth is very small and live feed is small enough to fit in their mouth.

• Fry and larva do not need a lot of food so only a small amount of live feed is needed.

• The wiggling live feed triggers the fry/larva's feeding instinct.

• Live feed is cheaper and easier to obtain than other feeds.
