My Red Jewels just lay eggs! So happy but at the same time I'm worried that I don't know enough information about raising fries. What should I feed the fries? 
Feeding baby fishes.

Well either get a packet of Hikari First Bites, or baby brine shrimp, your LFS should carry both of them. I only have experience with First Bites, so I'll expain how to feed fry them. Get a small cup, fill it with tank water. Drop a small pinch of first bites in, let it settle and sink for a good 5 minutes. Get a turkey baster (you can buy them at walmart cheap). Suction up the first bites in the baster and spit them out right on top of the fry. This is known as target feeding, and it works!

I always take a high quality flake like omega one and crush it up real fine in my palm and feed it 3-5 times a day the first few weeks. I've also mixed it with yolk from a hard-boiled egg and fed it as well for extra protein.
