    Hi there, and congrats!

    There are a few choices as far as food goes - the best IMO is to buy some brine shrimp eggs and start a hatchery to prepare some food for them. It is preferable to have the shrimp hatched prior to the fry arriving. Here's something I came across on a quick search, and seems simple enough to follow if you need some help.

    Otherwise, of course, you could buy some small frozen foods or a suitable brand fry food (I know Tetra makes something called Liquifry) which should be accepted by the youngsters.

    Congrats

    I have krib fry at the moment and apart from brine shrimp I have been feeding finely ground up tetra prima granules and flake mixed with tank water. Their response to it is quite good and have about 18+ youngsters.
