Answer
Cheriel,

 Well, unfortunately, this should have been taken care of before you bred the pair. The fry need live food and micro worms are the best. They take 2 weeks to culture so they are out of the question now. You have to feed them and if all you have are eggs that will work. Boil an egg and use the yoke. Smash up up and add water from the tank to make a paste. When you feed them, be very careful not to over feed or you will start to contaminate their water. You can also feed the newly hatched brine shrimp, but you have to do the hatching. They are very delicate and need to be taken very good care of or they will die. If you can get a plant called Java fern, that will help too. Small microorganisms grow on that plant and the fry will eat that as well. You need to feed the 2 days after they hatch or they will become too week to feed. You have to have enough food and they need to be fed 3 or 4 times a day. You really need to do homework before breeding a fish since the fry are dependent of you to keep them alive. Good luck with the fry and if you have any more questions please ask. Don't forget to put a sponge filter in their tank. That is the only type of filter you can use or the intake will suck them through the filter. And they NEED a filter.
