Are you taking about a livebearer here?  If so, what type?

Hi, welcome to the forums, I'm kinda new at this myself and just had my first batches of fry also. They are guppy fry and I'm feeding a mixture of liquifry , hikari first bites, hikari frozen baby brine shrimp, and this other powdered fry food called baby bites (I forget the brand) I also have many live plants and I heard that they eat the little organisms that grow on them. I feed about 6 small meals daily. I'm no expert but this is just what I've been doing.

Good luck and post some pics if you can
Oh also I turned up the temp to 78. I hear that a slightly higher temp speeds their metabolism and growth, again it's just something I heard not sure how true it is or not...

Thanks for the suggestions but i found my fry to like instant baby brine shrimp from " Oceans Nutrient", and they seem to double in size every day!

That's good, they do grow very fast I'm amazed by it myself. Good luck.

Livebearer fry can eat plain old flake food as long as you "grind" it into small particles with your fingers.
