Angelfish fry question

[Angelphish]

They're interesting to watch, with their clear body along with their body being such a different shape.

The eggs were laid last Monday, and became wrigglers last Wednesday. Should I go ahead and feed them? I'm not sure how long they have been there, or how long they keep the yolk sack. I may be wrong on them still having one, as this is the first time I've had eggs hatch.

Feed when the egg sac is fully absorbed, and as soon as fry is free swimming.

So it's fully absorbed once they are free swimming?

Yes it should be and fry will need food.

Should I go ahead and feed them Daphnia? I put in some Hikari first bites but realized it was a mistake right after I did. They didn't eat that, so they haven't eaten yet.

Try a very small amount don't over feed, also place food in current so it will look like it's moving. The current can be the air stone bubbles.

If they eat you should see this in their little bellies.

I just fed them, but I didn't see them eat. They may have ate though, but it's hard to tell with one Daphnia being their entire meal. Along with that they're so small I'd never see their mouths move.

 

[Angelphish]

The aerator is moving all of the Daphnia around, so if they want some they can eat it overnight. I just hope they survive.

What would be a good water change schedule for these little guys?
