I use Biotec Ultra Plus Fry Food Size 1 20g
Ultra Plus No BS (Brine Shrimp) Fry Food, eliminates the need to raise baby brine shrimp to feed and rear superior fry, or baby fish. (Size 1 - 100 - 200 microns)

Coco you can put your filter back on now, but just make sure the intake is covered with some filter wool or a sponge so that the fry don't get sucked up.

feed less

More WC
would go to 2x 40% and over a week 2x50% or 1x 80%

Coco, you should put the filter back as soon as all fry attach properly, about a day after free swimming. 4 days free swimming is a bit early for bbs, they usually start eating at day 5 onwards. Any feed before that will mess up the tank and if you dont have a filter, cause a bacteria bloom.

So no filter = no feed or massive water changes. for that size fry i wouldn't do more than 20% wc at a time, also you don't seem to have too many fry so you don't need to change that much water, one 20% per day should be fine if you don't overfeed. Remember we're having water shortages.
