Feeding Clownfish Fry when gone

[KSReefing]

Calling all breeders. Was curious what you guys do if you are going to be gone all day and need to feed your fry?

I work 24 hour shifts and was curious what people have done when they have been gone for long periods of the day.

I do have my wife to help with feedings but would like to avoid that if something else could be tried or done.

Any advice would be great !

Are you feeding live rotifers?

I was planning on it yes.

I wonder if you could almost rig a dosing pump to put certain amounts of food in at certain times of the day.

See I was wondering that too. I'd be afraid that you would have die off in the tubes and then you're essentially polluting your tank

yeah I was just thinking of that...to bad there isn't a way to flush the line somehow.

I've heard some people mixing in rotifers with some dry food from reed mariculture at day 2 after the hatch. I guess its super fine that even the fry can handle it
