They'll be okay as long as they are getting enough food and you can keep the water clean. You may want to try hatching some BBS now so that they have food to eat once they become free swimming (or, buy some decapsulated brine shrimp eggs *highly recommended*).
There are numerous articles online that tell you how to do this. Most describe making hatcheries with light and dark areas but all you really need is a soda bottle, an air stone and a light. Add some aquarium salt to their water and you'll get more shrimp. More than enough to feed a few fry for a week or two until they can be fed prepared foods.
After about a week free swimming you can feed them (frequently but sparingly) pulverized flake or hikari first bites. It's good to have a small pleco or even some snails on the take to clean up.
At this point just keep their water clean with frequent water changes and your on your way.
