This most probably has been done before but here goes again.
The best possible first food for egg layers especially gouramis and tetras etc is boiled egg yolk.
First hard boil an egg, take only the yolk, put into a piece of cotton cloth like a handkerchief . Push it through into the tank.
You are aiming for a cloud to form as in the photo. The other photos show you what it looks like. When you wrap it up just dunk it in the tank to moisten and squeeze.
It will keep for about a week in a closed container in the fridge.
The reason this is so good. It is high in protein. Because of the cloud the fry have no choice but to eat it as they swim through the cloud. Plus it stays suspended in the water for a long time.
