It still has its yolk sac. This little guy is so small.. It's in a breeder net with about 10-15 livebearer fry. I think these guys are all around the same age.
I have no idea what to feed it. I feed the livebearer babies small pieces of algae wafer and shrimp pellet. I also try for hardboiled egg yolk, which I've heard is a good choice, on and off.
What do I feed it once the yolk sac disappears? I have no idea what it could be; I brought it home from my store.
 
I use a mortar and pestle to grind pellets into powder for my Endler's. The bottom of a glass and a bowl also works, that's what I used previously.
 
Wait, you bought as in paid money for a tiny fry?...I'd be afraid a tiny fry would be too delicate to transport to a new home.
 
I think the OP works in a LFS and thus came upon the tiny fry.
 
Yea, I just scooped him into the container with all the other fry I brought home that day.
Thanks, guys.
