Bristlenose wigglers week 3: first fry going onto crushed flake, how fine is fine enough?
Most of the tub is free swimming and picking at spirulina wafer now. I crushed some flake between two spoons and it looks like dust, but I'm never sure if I'm overfeeding the tub. Pic below of the fry room shelf with the labels so I don't lose track of the batches. How much do you offer per feeding?

A pinch you can barely see between two fingers is plenty for a tub that size. If there's flake left on the floor after an hour, you gave too much. Pull it with a turkey baster.
turkey baster gang. also I'd skip flake on the days you do a big water change, the tub stays cleaner that way.
For what it's worth I do the same with my shrimp fry, dust-fine and a tiny amount, then check the floor after an hour. Sounds like you've got the routine already.
Wait, my own comment would be odd there. Skip.
