feed them multiple times a day. when I had fry I was only able to get about 10 grow up to around 1" or so before I sold them off and i was only feeding about twice a day. but I only started with around 20-30. the rest were left in the parents tank.

Change fry water with parents tank water. Feed brine when yoke sacks are gone. Baby bites. Fry food blocks cut down on cannibalism after 2nd week.I use AC filter on back use old net to prevent fry from getn sukd up.lots of hiding places! GL

Oh well takes 3-4 days to hatch, n they'll be 7-8 days old before yoke saks are dry n they eat brine shimp. It takes 24-36 hours to hatch brine so you'll need atleast 2 hatcheries.they'll eat brine for a good week, then bloodworms, brine shrimp, flakes, baby bites,ect. Methylene blue in with eggs will help prevent fungus n help you have stronger healthier fry. Keep me posted. Mine are spawning tonight too!
