I had noticed a couple of nights ago that one on my female Cockatoos was guarding eggs... Yay!!!
But today I was not prepared to see free swimming fry with the other female!!! They are all in a moderately planted community tank and I guess my question is: WHAT TO FEED? They are amazingly tiny, I estimate they aren't more than a week or so old. Baby brine shrimp seem big for them... Totally unprepared for this! I'm in a slight panic because I love all of my creatures, furry and fishy, and I'd feel awful if none made it to juvie stage. HELP!!! Thanks for any input... :)

Thank you! I was a little doubtful because of their size since I have never raised fry. I have a 120 gal planted community tank that my Cherry Barbs, Emperor Tetras and CPDs regularly spawn in and many have made it to adulthood, but I took no part in the caretaking. They would just appear when they got older and I have given many fish away. :) This is a new tank and isn't as established. Hopefully I will be able to raise a few to adulthood which then presents another issue: where to house them? We really don't have the room for another tank... or do we? :) Thanks again!!
