What do I feed to discus fry?

I had 8 discus sharing a 70g with some 30 neons and stuff. Contrary to how I understood it works, eventhough they only met as adults, two of them spawned on the glass. Yesterday I removed all the other fish. The female takes hatchlings in her mouth and attaches them to the glass a few inches away from the eggs.

What do I do next? When do I start feeding the fry and with what?

DO NOT remove the fry once they hatched

leave them with the parents, because they need to feed off the parents slime coat.

think of it as a new born kitten that needs moms milk, it is needed for proper growth, immune system developement and defense.

once they get just alittle bigger than a quarter you can start feeding them small food items.

try to get a food made for discus

Hatch brine shrimp to feed to the fry.

Exactly! Once they start to venture away from the parents, try ground flake food or hatching brine for them. Those are the best ways to get them up to size.

that sucks that they got munched, but at least you know that you've got a pair that's rarin to get down and make babies! which is never a bad thing. But at least you now know what baby discus eat....yummy yummy slime.
