Exactly. And if you're using a sponge filter, make sure it's not too strong. Fry can get sucked up if the flow's too intense. I've seen it happen, and it's not pretty.

No prob! Let us know how it goes. Oh, and if you can't find live food, frozen cyclops works too. Just thaw it first.

First off, congrats on the fry! You're gonna wanna feed 'em tiny foods like baby brine shrimp or microworms. They're super tiny, so regular flakes won't cut it. Also, keep the water clean with small, frequent water changes, like 10% every couple days. Sand's perfect for 'em, so you're good there.
