I would not remove the screen until after the fry have left the cone on their own. They should attach to the dad with 24 hrs or so .
You need not feed them until they have attached and started feeding well on the dad. I usually wait 4-5 days then introduce baby brine shrimp.FROZEN ones from the store arent very good.Best to hatch them yourself.
The dad can easily handle 20 fry...
Though feeding bbs isnt necessary right off the bat you will have better growth of your fry if you feed them in addition to what they get off the dad.
