Default Pond bred Fantails

Hi
My Fantails spawned in the potted weeds. I moved the pots to a section of
the pond that has no other fish in it, & a number of babies have hatched a
week ago.
They seem to be doing OK but I am wondering if /when/what I should be doing
about feeding them.
Can they survive on the mico-organisms in the pond water & if so for how
long?
Thanks for any response
Pat


Depending on how many you have in the area. A fish farmer that used
to advise us here recommended boiled egg yolk as a good supplement,
but they really get their start on microaquatics.
