I have a similar situation and all I feed the fry is flakes that I "crush"
between my fingers as I drop them into the tank. Dad also doesn't care for
me too much as he will slam into the side of the tank to get me! I
normally leave a towel over the tank to help keep their stress levels down
as I have two small children that think it's great fun to watch the
parents attack fingers through the glass...
p.s. It's somewhat easier to read a post when the Caps Lock is turned off.

Please turn off your caps lock. It reads like you are SHOUTING.

Wayne, you don't need to get fancy with these guys. Crumble up some flake
food and throw it in and they will be fine. I did start mine off with live
BBS for the first couple of weeks however I'm sure they would have been fine
without it.
