Cole et al. [12] and Cole & Haring [13] proposed to wean Lemon tetra, Hyphessobrycon pulchripinnis and Serpae
tetra, Hyphessobrycon serape, respectively, using a combination of brine shrimp and fine powdered feed (55 %
crude protein level) for first two weeks. This study concluded that the fry can be weaned after initial two weeks from
live food to formulated diet but this study could not provide scientific weaning protocol.
