congratulations! If she has not had any fry in more than 30 minutes, it's safe to put her back in the main tank. If she does drop any more, there will not be many. The longer she is left in the breeder net, the more fry she's likely to eat; so I think you did the right thing by moving her out.

If you have any "First Bites" or similar fry food, you can begin feeding the fry tiny amounts of food. Any pics??!

Hi

Quite hard to take photos but i have a few they are so tiny.

There are two at the top and rest at the bottom of the tank. There is a sprinkle of finely crushed flakes. The bottoms ones are not eating though.

I never tire of looking at the little fry. They are sooo tiny, and almost cute looking when it looks like their eyes are too big for their head still!

Just watch them in the breeder net. Most of the time they are fine, but I have had to rescue more than one after they'd managed to get caught between the net and the plastic. It didn't happen often, but did occasionally.

What should i feed them?

They don't like flakes. They have has a small bit of egg yolk. Anything else?

any type of fry food is good. Flakes are big - compared to the size of these teeny, tiny mouths. You would need to grind them down into a fine powder. I've always given First Bites, which is a very fine powder. My fry had always gobbled it down. There are also liquid fry foods, but I was kinda scared to try it, as I'd never know if they ate it. If you can grind the flakes down fine enough to fit in their tiny little mouths, they'd likely go for that.
