usually they feed of the egg sac for about 3 days or so, they will look like a blob of jello at the bottom of the tank for a bit, once the egg sac is gone they will be free swimming and you can give them really fine flake food, or liquid food until they start getting big enough for frozen food. You can sometimes loose as much as half of the fry within the 1st week or so, I've heard that it's due to them not getting the mucus from the parents skin but don't know how true that is. You will still be able to raise quite a few of them to a decent size to sell or give away.
