Ok, first I wanted to say hi to all. I am new to the forum here, and hopefully I can expand my knowledge and help others as well. My current setup is the following:

55 Gal All-Glass
Emperor 350 (*spelling)

1 male convict
1 female convict
1 red devil
1 mardi
1 10" pleco
a couple of assorted tetras.

My question is the convicts just hatched their fry. :bday: They are still transperant in color if that is any indication of their age. my concern is what to feed em. I have noticed them picking at some algea on the rocks. I was also recommend to use some Sea Salad from the local store. So what do I feed em? the parents have them fairly well protected, so I am hoping that out of 50 or so, I can grow atleast 5 or 6. Thanks for any help you can give.
 
crushed up flakes and baby brine shimp will work fine

congrats!

i also have some convict fry, about a month and 3 weeks old now

Hikari First Bites are great. I've used them and actually seen the fry eating it. They are pretty widely distributed as well. You shouldn't have too much trouble finding the food.
