I caught one of my Angelfish laying eggs today. This wasn't her first time, but it was her first time not eating them. About a minute later I see my Leopard Angel come to fertilize them (I'm going out on a limb and guessing this one is a male), and surprisingly, he didn't eat the eggs either. If the fry survive for at least a day, what should I feed them. Also, should I get something like this,

and just put them in there along with food? Should I get Hornwort so they can hide before I can get to them (put them in the container)?
 
Try feeding them Artemia and very fine pulverized flake food
 
I was trying to stay away from live foods. From what I've seen, I have 2-4 days to get them into the hatchery. With the live food, I have to wait for shipping, then hatch the shrimp.
 
Since I was in a hurry, I bought Hikari first bites. It seemed to have good reviews and fish seem to like it. Now that I have the food the hatchery, any tips on keeping them alive? How much will they grow in a month?
 
They key to good growth is feed them several times a day and keep them in pristine water conditions.
