I have been fortunate enough to have a few eggs with tails from a pair of Teleogramma brichardi. I am trying to figure out what type of foods would be best to feed the new babies. I am thinking microworms, BBS and Repashy. Most of the eggs fungased over due to my inadequacies but it looks like some of them will make it. Any suggestions or opinions would be greatly appreciated on first foods and how to keep the eggs from getting fungus next time would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I always have feed my Teleogramma baby/fry freshly hatched baby brine shrimp and had no problems with that as the sole food.
As far as the eggs fungusing...what are your water parameters? I kept my wild pairs in 6.5 range 100ppm water and had little to no issues. Larger batches would be 40-50 eggs/fry but I left the eggs and fry in with the parents so I might only pull out 20-30 juvinals after a month or so. But fungus or hatching problems were never an issue.
