I noticed this morning that I had angelfish wrigglers on my powerhead. I moved it to a 1 gallon jar w/ an airstone for now because the angelfish were eating them. How long before they need fed and what should I feed them? This is my first experience raising fish from an egg state so any help you can give is much appreciated.

Once they become free swimming, you can start
feeding them newly hatched baby brine shrimp.
Add a couple of small snails to clean up the
leftovers and some java moss to give them
some microscopic junk to feed off of as well
as absorb some ammonia.
Keep in mind that the water in there can get bad
fast so do partial water changes daily and move
them into a larger tank with a sponge filter
after 1 week.

keeping up with growing brine shrimp is almost a chore in itself depending on how much you are feeding

Yes, it is indeed. Would microworms be an okay alternative? I've already got a culture of those going.
