I found this which may of be use to you :The baby fry feed on small organisms called infusoria and algea. To grow infusoria for feeding just get a jam jar of pond water and run it through some cotton wool or muslin to get out any larger predatorial organsims like daphnia which will eat the infusoria and add hay the water. Leave it for a few days in a dimly lit room at about room temp. and when you next look you should see lots of tiny white dots in the water which, if looked at under a microscope reveal to be lots of types of infusoria in their millions. these can be fed to the fry by adding them to the tank. To get more just add some of the old water containing the infusoria to boiled tapp water with hay and repeat the other proceedours. As the fry grow their diet changes. When they reach about half an inch they can be fed small organisms like daphnia or cyclopses. These can be obtained by dragging a net through water where they can be see or they can be purchased from aquarium dealers. Soon the fish will eat the same food as the adults and will quickly grow.

What will a Minnow eat I want to know what they'll eat?
Minnows eat lots of things depending on the type of minnow. If you have a minnow you can safely give it any store bought fish food like goldfish food. We use minnows in our rain barrels around the farm to eat mosquito larva and algie. We also drop goldfish food in twice per week to keep them well fed. In the fall we let them go where we caught them in the spring and they are often much bigger than their wild cousins. You can also catch house flies and small insects to feed them.

I raised a litter of 4 baby squirrels. I would feed them 2 or 3 times a day. You can tell when they are done eating when their bellies are big and round and sometimes (depending on the squirrel) they will just stop eating on their own.

A baby fish is called a 'fry' when they reach the point they can feed themselves. They are later called 'juveniles' when they have acquired their scales and fins. Once that cycle is complete, they are referred to as 'fingerlings,' which is a reference to their size.
