ok im sure u have scanned the internet in a panic of what to feed the unsuspected fry u have just found. (after u get them out of the main tank.) some say u can feed them flake food others brine shrimp. or you have to buy special fry food. well here is a hint that I have used successfully for live bearing fry and those that were hatched from an egg. I use finely crushed algae wafers with brine shrimp hatchlings. this combination is perfect for there is little rot you have to worry about that would harm the fry and it gives a mix of protein from both and the algae wafers will boost the fry's immune system. this allows for better odds that your fry will make it to adulthood. so far for my Corys I had 30 eggs and 20 hatched I still have that 20 and they are a week and 4 days. all I do is for the egg laying species u have to wait a day after hatching to feed them. this is so they can absorb the yolk. I feed them 1 time a day until they turned 1 week or when I saw they were eating with no leftovers then feed them 2 times a day. and each feeding is a dab of algae wafer on the finger and one test tube filled with brine shrimp. however when they are able to go to my 10g tank in another 2 weeks 3 days I will switch to finely grounded tubafix worms and continue with the algae wafers also. hope this helps. this was from my trial and error with mosquito fish fry so hoping those that are in this situation u will find what u need.
