Don't try to feed them until their yolk is absorbed (keeping in mind that I've today seen pics of these fry on facebook so I'm not just pulling that out of thin air :-\ ). I make sure there's a lot of water movement through any container I separate them into, also. I would recommend NLS Grow and Repashy Soilent green formula for them the first few weeks. Then add additional sources and watch for what they prefer. They should eat the same foods the adults do within a month or so. Congratulations again!
