It's been three days since I am seeing newly hatched fry of my rosy barbs. They are very tiny and I don't know what to feed them. I am seeing 5 to 6 such small fries. I transfered adults to another tank but I am worried if my tank has enough food for those fries or not. What should I do to grow out this little baby fishes

Newly hatched Barbs need infusoria or other micro foods as their first foods. Once they get large enough, you can switch to newly hatched brine shrimp nuplii or decapsulated brine shrimp eggs. If you have live plants and a small number of fry, there are micro insects/ bugs on the plants and the fry should find them and eat them. You can also use some hard boiled egg yolk or Liquifry for egg layers as their first foods.

Hope this helps (y)
 
I think my small pond must be having infusoria in it. I will try feeding boiled yok in coming days. Excited to raise them to be adults. Thank you!
