i find that my fry don't grow very well on micros alone. i mix them with live bbs or decaps and feed that solution 3-4 times daily. as tom said the bellies are very noticably round and orange after eating. i also feed live daphnia to my fry once they are around 2 weeks. they go nuts for it, chasing them around the entire tank to feed. i almost forgot, be careful to soak the decaps for at least ten minutes or they will expand in the fishes belly and they will explode. another thing i do is to do water changes every other day in tanks with young fry. i find that the smaller changes are less stressfull on the fry because of less fluctuation in temp. and other parameters. i hope this helps. its just my personal experiences in my own tanks. good luck
