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

=========================
How many are there and how many gallons is the pond area they're in? If
there are many hundreds of fry they will need feeding unless the pond area
is large, say 1000g or more with a lot of plants.

Frugal ponding since 1995.
