Are my 2 week old corys in deep trouble?

I managed to somehow ruin the nett with cory fry today, so i let them swim in the tank, but since the smallest ones are about 2-3 weeks old and one which is 4-5 weeks old, i'm afraid that they might not be able to get enough food in the 85 gallon tank.
Should i feed with artemia or/and algee pellets?
What chances do they have to survive?

It won't be easy to keep track of tiny cory fry in an 85 gallon tank. If all you have in the tank are 6 aeneus and 1 ancistrus you have a chance. Feed them baby brine shrimp but forget about the algae pellets. Corys do not net much vegetable matter in their diet.

I don't know if Cory fry already need additional air, but if so: how high is this 85 gallon tank? Are they able to reach the surface? If not, they may be in (too) deep trouble indeed.

50 cm.
i've actually seen one of them swim to the surface.
They seem to have survived the night.
