I don't keep killies (rainbowfish, natch), but I thought/read that killie fry, like bows, were feed vinegars eels and not micro cultures? FWIK both bows and killies are fry raised the same way and I'm curious as to what differences there may be.
I raise my fry on eels -- they don't sink and can live for a few days in the tank -- then move them to BBS. My parva has outgrown the BBS for the most part now and are eating GP Larval Diet 200-500 micron now.

the AKA suggests baby brine shrimp, microworms, vinegar eels, infusoria and grindal worms. they also say how to culture most of them as well. 
Yes, vinegar eels work too, but are more of a pain to culture, and cultures can be harder to come by (especially where itvilcu lives). I do not like BBS, as they are nutritionally inferior.....grindal worms work for larger fry, and infusoria I find are usually a bit smallish.
Hrm, dunno about hard to culture. I found it far easier than other stuff. Here's an article I wrote for anyone who's interested:
