Default UV and dead fry Bum rap for mosquito fish?

A fish farmer that used to hang around here mentioned they kill off
microaquatics eaten by hatching fry. So, if you use UV and want to
raise fry you need to feed them and he suggested boiled egg yoke.

Does anyone with a UV have a good batch of hatchlings? If the UV really
takes out the fry food, that could explain why I have not had babies for a
while...maybe the mosquito fish are getting a bum rap!

No, No. Last year was the first year I used a UV clarifier-sterilizer
and I have never had so many fry. If they all survived the winter I
will have to take goldfish to the pet store. Happy water gardening.
