My swordtail had babies but how often should I feed them?

[Boo Boo Magoo]

I put my swordtail in a breeding trap yesterday and today when I got up she was delivering her babies. Unfortunately the breeding trap didn't work as well as expected and some fry got eaten by the mother and others managed to escape through the holes in the bottom which left me with just 8. I have since transferred them to a breeding net but I was wondering how often I should feed them?

I'd probably feed them a tiny bit of crushed flakes about 3 - 4 times a day. But make sure you just put a tiny bit in there because they have tiny little stomachs and can't eat much. Too much uneaten food will rot & foul the water.
