The number of infusoria needed per day can be dumped into the tank in two or more doses and will not overpopulate the tank while being eaten, as long as the fry are not extremely crowded. That is why drip feeding is rarely a must, but the dumping has to be done with reasonable foresight and careful checks on the condition of the tank. Watch the fry, see that they are eating, and estimate, even if only roughly, the proper amount of culture to feed.
Quite wide margins are tolerated and only normal care has to be taken, but some care is essential. Remember that not very much is needed at the start, but the rate at which the fry require food is always increasing as they grow and larger amounts must be supplied. From the start, therefore, it is perfectly feasible to raise fry with 2 feeds per day, morning and evening (but give them light to feed by). Occasionally a spawning may be lost because of a foul tank or unnoticed underfeeding, but the numbers of spawnings that can be copedwith by this simple scheme more than make up for this mishap. Any- way, spawnings are lost more frequently by older methods. There are certain advantages, too, in the infrequent feeding technique.
