Good job with spawning you fish!
As you already know; Goldfish fry
are tiny. So what you need to get
is fry food. However you can make
this on your own, Mix half guppy
food with half tropical flakes together
and put them in a plastic bag and
crush them ‘untill it is a fine powder.
I really do reccomend mixing the
two since guppy food is high in
vitamins and such; And Tropical
food so they can become ready
for what they are going to eat
when they grow up.
Best of luck!

many fish fry will do great on crushed up fish flakes. just get a small amout of flakes and grind them up with your fingers, it should do fine….that what i feed my guppy fry. good luck with the new arrivals !

Regular fish food such as fish flakes will do fine. If the babies are only swimming on the bottom of the tank, you need to get the flakes to sink to the bottom. The best way is to take the flakes between your finger, submerge the flakes in the water, squeeze the flakes between your fingers, and release and watch it sink.

At one-day old they probably won’t eat anything, as they are still living on their yolk sacs.
However, they will start eating very soon. Goldfish fry are very small and need small foods, such as newly-hatched brine shrimp, infusoria, rotifers, cyclops, paramaecia, etc. If you don’t want to feed live foods, you could try starting them on finely-powdered dry goldfish food, but they may or may not eat it.
Another food for tiny fry is "egg-yolk infusion." Hard-boil an egg, then take out the yolk and push the yolk through a sieve or mash it thoroughly with a fork. Then put the yolk in a jar with a little water, screw the lid on, and shake the jar until the yolk is completely suspended in the water. You feed this with an eyedropper or pipette several times each day. Most small fish fry will eat this food, but it tends to foul the water, so you will need to make frequent water changes with this feeding regimen.

NOTHING! they eat nothing until their egg sac is dissolved. I MEAN nothing!
Feeding only clouds water. yhou will need to remove them or the folks here and treat each differently. After 3 days you can start feeding the fry.
