Will this work for newly hatched betta fry?

I'm thinking about getting this for my newly hatched betta fry. Did you get it? And did they eat it?

I bought this by mistake can I feed it to adult fish too??

It is a fine powder, most adult fish would ignore it and it would just pollute your water column..

can you feed this to newly hatched brine shrimp?? if not what do I feed them?

I wouldnt,, I feed them spirallina ((SP?) powder and sometimes yeast

can this be used for newborn baby betta fishes? is it instant or needs to be hatched like baby brine shrimp

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.
