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

Those are some really cute eyeballs...I mean fry you have there!
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.

Mine were so tiny I did not see them at first and vacuumed up 6 before I realized they were in the tank
but I rescued them.
