I am feeding them bug bites flakes that I grind to a dust, they seem to like it and line up by the side of the tank, I started right away as soon as I saw them in my tank.

newborn fry will not be interested in eating straight away best to start feeding after the first 24-hours

They're still absorbing the yolk in the first 24 hours, but if I'm not sure when exactly they were born, I drop a tiny amount of First Bites in there and see if they go for it. But I also usually raise fry in the same tank as the adults, so uneaten food isn't a concern. Once they've absorbed the yolk, they're ready for food and usually a bit more active as they look for it.
