Most likely bacterial, possibly from overfeeding, leaving uneaten food on the bottom of the tank. Make sure you clean your filters and wipe down the tank walls in addition to your two 50%+ water changes. Also make sure you get all the uneaten food from the tank bottom.

How much water are you changing?
Do you still have them with the parents now?

I agree with Rick here. Wipe down your tanks at least every 3 days when feeding bbs. I check around the overflow outlets and even the bottom of my sponge filter. BBS get everywhere so take a corner of the tank and work from there. Ed
