When and what to feed the free swimming yellow electric fry?

Are there cichlids on the other side of that net? They are too smart a fish to not figure out how to get the fry in the net if they want to. I put them in a 2 gallon tank for the number you have, with a suspended sponge filter, no gravel or sand, and some Najas sp. live plant to absorb ammonia. Feed them finely crushed flake food or pellets that you have been feeding the adults. Newly hatched baby brine shrimp and/or live daphnia is great but not necessary.Feeding all three kinds of food seems to be the best for growth rate, mortality, and color.As they get close to adult size, wean them to the flake food, and if they eat it, some soft leaved live plants.
