The White Cloud Mountain Minnow(WCMM) fry (length 2.5mm) will hatch after three days and will start swimming after one additional day and should now be fed. Infusoria and microworms are the first food. After ten days, start feeding the fry with newly hatched artemia. You can start water changes. When they get bigger, gradually swap the artemia for powdered food.  At the age of 1 month, the fry will get a green stripe, similar to that of a neon tetra. You can now do more frequent water changes to the breeding tank due to an increased amount of feeding.

Culling

Fry having physical deformities should be culled.

Growout

Moving the fry to a bigger tank will speed up their growth.
