When should I remove the male?

after the duty of him picking up all of the eggs and/or when the complete process is over, which would be after picking up the eggs. be careful, because if she is in there too long, she may start eating some. i had this happen before. also, the male may start eating them as well so just keep an eye out. congrats ewurm!:clap
 
You should have an infusoria or green water culture going before they hatch.Take the male out as soon as the fry start swimming
 
Can I just use liquid fry food?

you can but be very careful as it can easily contaminate and dirty your water very quickly. i've used it before and wasn't very happy with it. i would try some frozen daphnia from SFB and let it thaw out a little and try that. i plan on using it the next time i have eggs hatch.
 
You can use liquid fry food,newly hatched brine shrimp or vinegar eels after a few days,I always started mine on green water then infusoria then bbs

I can't even get a good pic of big fish.
 
after they've been free swimmers for a few hours take the male out. LiquiFry is a great way to start infrosia however they will be eating off their yokes for a couple days anyways.

Just one drop of liquifry now and then leave it be. BBS is a great starter~ it looses all nutritional value after about 72 hours thouhg and is just a great laxitive. I went straight to MicroWorms. Then I go to Cyclop-eeze. after that they are big enough to take black worms.
 
This rearing thing is complicated. It's amazing that fish survive at all in the wild. LOL
