They came like that.

Update female ate her eggs and male has about 10 fry. I stripped the fry and have them in a 10g. Still have a little yoke sack left so gonna have to start feeding hikari first bites soon. Hopefully next spawn will yield more fry.

Update on fry. Only 8 survived. Feeding well on hikari first bites. Will mix in frozen baby brine shrimp and finely crushed flakes when they get a little bigger.

A better alternative to frozen that I personally feed to fry and my smaller fish is Ocean nutrition Instant Baby Brine Shrimp, far better imo.
