Success, Well Kinda

[Nix]

Ok, soo lets get started, about a week ago I was at a lfs, and I bought a nice piece of slate, with the intensions of pulling my next angelfish spawn, well they didnt even spawn on it, but rather their favorite sword plant, so i trimmed the plant, and put it on a plastic plate like thing (diameter of a peanut butter & jelly sandwich) put some rocks around the edges, of the leaf and in the plate, so now, they are in a 10gallon tank. I beleive this is the 4th day of the spawn, and it appears almost all of them are wigglers now, maybe even close to free swimming, they appear rather active, tails seem really visible. So now, I assume I REALLY need to go get a Brine Shrimp hatchery, now my question, what options do I really have when it comes to feeding them, especially when they are less than a week old, or so. I assume really really really well grinded flakes won't do the job here, right?

Any other tid bits of advice is welcome,


Thanks in advance

I bought some Hikari tropical, 'first bites', much cheaper than setting up a brine shrimp hatchery (would ended up costing around 15$) Think that should work?

I tried flake ground to a powdwr, liquifry, a few different fry starters, all didn't work well at all. There is something about the bbs that gets them to eat, I heard it's the motion of being live food. Everyone I know who breeds angels goes with the bbs. A homemade hatcheery is cheap & easy to make, & takes around 10 minutes daily to hatch a batch that lasts 24 hours if refrigerated in the brine solution. Another alternative might be microworms. I've never used them, but they are even smaller than bbs

Angels will never spawn where you want them to, they always try to find the most difficult to remove object, like a filter intake.
