After Having their first meal, the cloud of fries is now hovering at the top which allow me to clean up any uneaten food at the bottom without endangering them with the siphon.

So you strictly clean up after meals and do partial water changes. Is this vital for the survival of the fry at such a tender stage? When you say partial how much % you talking?

Uneaten fry food spoil quickly. With so many fries I always end up over feeding and cleaning up anything that settles in the bottom a few hours after feeding. This hatchout tank is unfiltered and the w/c helps with the water quality.

After a few days I figure out how much is enough feed and just do the partial w/c before lights out for the tank. I change about a half gallon out of the 5 gallon tank each time.

When they get moved to a filtered tank in about a couple of weeks the w/c schedule drops to 20 - 30% twice a week but the tank bottom gets siphoned for detritus nightly and the tank is topped out accordingly.
 
Dude this thread is awesome.
