I just recently have gotten 50+ convict fry. Most are from my Blue Convicts the pictures of the parents are on here somewhere.

Right now I'm feeding them crushed flake food. I would like to get some babie food from my lfs. I would like to know what everyone feeds their fry?

I've heard of egg whites but I'm not sure about that,can you feed them this?

I do water changes on their tanks every other day so I'm not to worried about overfeeding.
 
I've fed crushed flake as well as newly hatched brine shrimp.

As for the egg... when I looked into it it was hard boiled egg yolk crumbled finely then put into the tank. I did not do this as the idea of adding any crumbled egg yolk into the tank and the resulting mess scared me off. Some say to combine a hard boiled yolk with a raw yolk to make a paste.

Here's a link to some instructions on feeding egg yolk, though different than what I found when I was searching out info. Fry Feeding....

Right now, I am feeding Nutrafin Fry food to mine. It looks like dust itsso fine but it has never cloude the water and I have not had a single fish die yet (atleast i think). I am planning to start using crushed flakes soon as all of them are getting rather big.
