read the above thread from this forum (it was on the next page).

All you want to know is here. This thread should be summarized and put in a book! Show exactly what to build and how to do it.

You want to find something with a small micron size with high protein.

Micron by Sera, Hikari first bites, boyd's is making one now and I'm sure there are a ton of others.

Of course, leaving with the parents is the best bet. They just need to learn how to take care of their babies=)

Get an auto feeder - if the parents were there they could feed all day long.

I would think they would survive - but, I ahve never done it.

I would go with the egg yolk. Been there done that it works great. You have to watch and change the water cause it does foul the water fairly fast.
I have also learned a trick(thanks to JimmyL if hes still around) and have my babies eating Brine Shrimp. That took awhile and some lost babies but that works awesome.
